Delete an instance and its linked data

Deletion removes the instance and system-linked data.

Before you start

  • Sign in with access to the page and instance. Changes require a role other than read-only.

Step by step

  1. Open Instances and check the card’s name and phone number.

  2. Click Delete.

  3. Read Confirm deletion and the linked-data warning.

  4. Confirm Delete only if those records need not be retained; choose Cancel to stop.

  5. From details, you can also open Settings > Delete instance. To dismiss confirmation without deleting, select Cancel, use X, press Escape or click outside it.

Check your result

Deletion removes the instance and system-linked data.

What you need to know

  • The warning includes conversations, contacts, pipeline deals, trackable links, tracking and automations. This screen has no undo.
  • When deleting from details, the screen returns to Instances even if the API response reports an error. Check that the instance actually disappeared before treating deletion as complete.
  • In the Instances list, confirmation may also close after an error response. Check removal in the refreshed list before treating the action as complete.
