# Delete a topic
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
{!admin-only.md!}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We generally recommend against deleting topics, but there are a few
|
||
|
|
situations in which it can be useful:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Clearing out test messages after setting up an organization.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Clearing out messages from an overly enthusiastic bot.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Managing abuse.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In most other cases, [renaming a topic](/help/rename-a-topic) is often a
|
||
|
|
better idea, or just leaving the topic as is. Deleting a topic can confuse
|
||
|
|
users who come to the topic later via an email notification.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Hover over the topic in the **left sidebar**.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Click the down chevron (<i class="fa fa-chevron-down"></i>).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Click **Delete all messages in `<topic>`**.
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
1. Click **Delete messages**.
