If you're unsure about how to remove a site from your Rapyd account, you've come to the right place! This guide shows you the steps for removing a site, which is an important part of other account actions like removing a plan or subscription.
Step-by-step: Deleting a Site
Step 1: Log in and Navigate to Your Site
First, log in to your Rapyd Cloud dashboard. From the main Sites page, locate the site you wish to delete and click the Manage site button to access its management area.
Step 2: Access the Delete Site Option
On the site's Overview page, look for the settings cog icon (⚙️) in the top card - it can be found just below the pink WP Admin button. Click this icon to open a dropdown menu. Select Delete site from the menu.
Step 3: Review the Deletion Warning
A modal window will appear with a critical warning. This message explains that deleting your site will permanently remove all of your website data, including all files, database tables, and any stored backups. This content cannot be recovered after confirmation.
Site deletion is a destructive process and immediately deletes a website's files, its database tables, and backups. So, please be sure to take a backup of your site and download a copy to your local computer before deleting your site. This will ensure that you have a version of the site just in case something unexpected happens.

Step 4: Confirm and Delete the Site
After carefully reading and understanding the warning, you must enter your Rapyd Cloud password to confirm that you want to proceed with this irreversible action. Once you have entered your password, click the Confirm button to begin the deletion process.
Important Notes and Best Practices
Backup, Backup, Backup: Site deletion is a destructive process that deletes everything, including all site backups on our platform. Before you start, you must download a backup of your site if there is any chance you might need to restore it later.
Irreversible Action: Once you confirm the deletion and the process begins, there is no way for you or our support team to recover your site's files or database.
Deletes the Site, Not the Plan: Deleting a site does not automatically cancel your subscription plan. To avoid future billing, you must also remove your plan separately.
Conclusion
Deleting a site from your Rapyd Cloud dashboard is a straightforward but permanent process. By carefully following these steps and ensuring you have a local backup, you can safely remove a site from your account. If you have any concerns or questions, we recommend contacting our support team before initiating the deletion.
