How To Remove Discord Server

Discord is a popular platform for online communication, especially for gamers, hobbyists and communities, and running a Discord server can be a lot of fun. However, there may be times when you want to delete your Discord server, either because you don’t need it anymore, want to start over, or want to switch to another platform.

Deleting the Discord server is a permanent action and cannot be changed which will remove all channels, messages, roles, and members from your server. Therefore, before you delete your Discord server, you should consider the following:

Why do you want to delete your Discord server? Is it due to low activity, spam, toxicity or something else? Are there alternatives to deleting your server, such as archiving it, transferring ownership or changing settings? Have you backed up any important data from your server, such as chat logs, media files or bot configurations? Have you informed members of your decision and given them enough time to say goodbye or join another server? Have you removed any integrations or webhooks linked to your server? How has deleting your Discord server affected your online presence, reputation and relationships? Will you lose followers, subscribers or supporters? Will you disappoint a friend, partner or collaborator? Are you about to miss a fun opportunity, event, or activity? Are there other platforms that can offer the same or better features and benefits as Discord? Do you have an existing or potential server that you can join or create instead of deleting your current one? You may consider this before deleting the Discord server so you can move your community there. Do you have other ways to keep in touch with your online contacts? Maybe you want to transfer the Discord server to a community member? Read our other guides to learn how it works and what to consider in such cases.

If you’ve considered all of these things and still want to delete your Discord server, here are the steps to do it:
