    Hi everyone,

    I work for a small start-up company that used to have a WordPress site several years back and have been tasked with deleting it in favor of our new site.

    I’ve cleared all the data out of the site by logging in through the wp-admin page, but can’t seem to find the actual delete button.

    Any suggestions?

    Hi there!

    I believe there is no delete button, hehe.

    WordPress sites are simple to delete, just go to the folder where the WordPress files are and remove them, simple right? :), you may want to also perform a full backup just in case.

    You can also get rid of the database if necessary, in which case you just look at the wp-config.php file and check the credentials and DB name, log into it with adminer or PHPMyAdmin interface and remove it.
    You need to be careful when deleting the database because the data from the current live site may also be there, in which case you should only delete the tables that match the prefix that is set on the wp-config.php file.

    Again, always good to perform a full backup beforehand in case things go wrong.

    Good Luck 🙂
