Permanently Deleting a Piece of Content

Updated 15 July 2026 2 min read

Deleting a piece of content permanently removes it. If you're unsure, consider archiving it instead, archived content items can be restored at any time.

Before you delete

A piece of content must be archived before it can be permanently deleted. Before you permanently deleting a piece of content, consider the following:

  • Export the content if needed. Once deleted, the content item cannot be recovered. Use Export content as a CSV to save a backup.
  • Check with your team. Make sure no one else is actively working on the content item.
  • Only Owners and Administrators can delete content items.
