Deleting your site

You can delete your site in two ways:

• Delete the repository. For more information, see AUTOTITLE.
• Change the source to the None branch. For more information, see Deleting your site by changing the source below.

If you want to remove the current deployment of your site but do not want to delete the site, you can unpublish your site. For more information, see AUTOTITLE.

Deleting your site by changing the source

{% data reusables.pages.navigate-site-repo %} {% data reusables.repositories.sidebar-settings %} {% data reusables.pages.sidebar-pages %}

1. Under "Build and deployment", under "Source", select Deploy from a branch even if the site is currently using {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %}.
2. Under "Build and deployment", use the branch dropdown menu and select None as the publishing source.
3. Click Save.
