title: Delete a channel
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
:::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.
