That depends on how recent the subdomain was added. If it’s this year, you should be able to delete it like you delete any other folder. If it was created before, there is sadly no way to delete it. ---

I tried but have no permission to delete on the root directory, i made the sub domain this year. 550 Can’t remove directory: Permission denied ---

> @Snakone said: > I tried but have no permission to delete on the root directory, i made the sub domain this year @Snakone The ability to do that was added two months ago I believe (it may be 3, in that case correct me), so if you had created it earlier then it will not work. ---
