## Overview
Deleting a Discussion removes it and its comments from your tenant permanently. Use it for threads created in error, spam, or content that should no longer exist anywhere. If you only want to close a conversation while keeping its content, archive it instead — deletion **cannot be undone**.

## How to delete a discussion
1. Go to **Settings → Features**.
2. Scroll to the **Discussions** section and click **Manage Discussions**.
3. On the **Manage Discussions** page, find the Discussion in the table (use the **Search by title** box if needed).
4. In that row's actions, click the red **trash** icon.
5. In the **Delete Discussion** dialog, review the title and the warning: *"This action cannot be undone."*
6. Click **Delete** to remove it, or **Cancel** to keep it.

You'll see a **"Discussion deleted"** confirmation and the Discussion is removed from the list.

> **Note:** There's no separate "are you sure" beyond this dialog — clicking **Delete** removes the Discussion straight away, and it can't be recovered from the app afterwards.

## Delete vs archive
* **Delete** removes the Discussion and its comments permanently. There's no self-service restore.
* **Archive** locks the Discussion as read-only while keeping all of its content, and can be reversed at any time. See *How to archive or unarchive a discussion*.

If you're unsure whether you'll want the content back, archive rather than delete.

## Things to keep in mind
* Deletion is permanent — the confirmation dialog is the only safeguard.
* All comments, replies, reactions and votes within the Discussion go with it.
* Consider archiving first if the conversation might be useful for reference later.

## FAQs
**Can I get a deleted discussion back?**
There's no self-service restore in the app. If you've deleted a Discussion by mistake, contact SuperPath support as soon as possible.

**What happens to the comments in a deleted discussion?**
They're removed along with the Discussion.

**Should I delete or archive?**
Archive if you want to close the conversation but keep its content (it's reversible). Delete only when the Discussion should be removed for good.

## Who can do this
**Owners** and **Admins** can delete Discussions from the **Manage Discussions** page. This page sits under **Settings** and is available only to Owners and Admins — **Managers**, **Content Managers**, **People Managers**, **Instructors**, **Employees** and **Restricted** users can't reach it.
