:::info Currently, you can only delete a channel using Status desktop. :::
Community owners can delete [channels][channels-your-quick-start-guide] within their communities. As a community owner, when you delete a channel, all messages and files associated with that channel are also deleted.
:::info Once you delete a channel, it can't be retrieved or restored. :::
What to expect
-
You can only delete a channel if you are the community owner.
-
When you delete a channel, it disappears immediately, and all users lose access to its content (messages and files).
-
If you delete a private channel, the [permissions][configure-channel-permissions] you configured for the channel are also lost. If you want to recreate the channel, you need to configure its permissions again.
