How to Delete a Server
WARNING: Before you delete a server, make sure you’re 100% positive you want to. Once a server has been deleted, it can not be restored.
Desktop App
1. If you’re the Server Owner, navigate to your server that you want to delete and tap on the server name to pull up a drop down menu. You can also right-click on the server name.
2. Tap on Server Settings and then scroll down until you see Delete Server and tap on it.
3. If you have 2FA enabled on your account, instead of asking for the server name to be typed in, you’ll be asked to input a 2FA code. Make sure before typing in your 2FA code, you are 100% sure you want to delete the server.
If you do not have 2FA enabled, you’ll see a prompt to type in your server’s name in order to proceed with the deletion. Once your server’s name is typed in and you’re 100% sure you want to delete this server, then tap on Delete Server.

A server can ONLY be deleted by the Server Owner, no matter what permissions other users might have.

If you do not have 2FA enabled, you’ll just have to tap on Yes to delete the server or No to cancel. Before tapping on yes, make 100% sure you want to delete this server.
