# Delete a site

Remove a site, its files, domains and deployment history from its server and from Nuvlo. This can't be undone.

## Before you start

- Permission to manage sites. You confirm by typing the site name.
- A recent backup if you might need the content again. See [Back up a site](https://app.nuvlo.dev/docs/back-up-a-site).

## Step 1: Open the delete option

Open the site from [Sites](https://app.nuvlo.dev/dashboard/sites) and click the **Settings** tab.

- For a static site, PHP site or Node.js app, stay on **General** and scroll to the card **Delete site** or **Delete application**.
- For a WordPress site or 1-Click app, scroll to the **Delete site** card at the bottom.

Click the red **Delete site** or **Delete application** button.

## Step 2: Confirm the deletion

The dialog lists what is removed. Type the exact site name into the confirmation field; the copy button next to the name helps. Then tick the box confirming that you understand the site goes offline right away and can't be recovered.

Click **Delete** followed by the site name.

## What is removed

- The running site, its processes and its files on the server. For WordPress, also its database.
- Its domains, certificates, deployment history and environment settings in Nuvlo.
- The webhook and deploy key Nuvlo added to the GitHub repository. The repository itself is not changed.
- DNS records Nuvlo created for the site in your Cloudflare account, and its temporary address if it had one.

## Troubleshooting

- **Cancel the running deployment before deleting this site.**: wait until the current deployment has finished, then delete.
- **Repair SSH access before deleting the site.** or **Site cleanup failed**: Nuvlo couldn't reach the server, so it kept the site to try again later. Check the server under [Servers](https://app.nuvlo.dev/dashboard/servers) and retry.

To remove a whole server with all its sites, see [Delete a server](https://app.nuvlo.dev/docs/delete-a-server).
