How to delete a Discord server

Desktop

Deleting your Discord server removes everyone, including yourself, from the server. After that, the server is closed.

Find your Discord server from the list on the leftmost sidebar. Click it.

Click the server menu button next to your server name. This looks like a downward arrow.

From the dropdown menu, click Server Settings.

Scroll down the menu on the lefthand side until you see Delete Server; click it.

You’ll get one last final warning before your server is deleted. If you’re sure you want to delete your Discord server, click Delete Server.

Android and iOS

If you’re on the go and don’t have access to a computer, you can always manage your Discord server using your phone. You can reply to messages, manage the user list, and more—including deleting the entire server.

Open the Discord app and tap your server icon to go to your server. Press the ⠇button at the top, above all of the server channels.

Tap Settings. In Server Settings, tap the ⠇button in the top right.

A Delete Server button will appear. Press it, then enter your Discord authentication code if you have one. If not, simply press Delete.
