Clean out unwanted sites in your Netlify account by following these steps.
Netlify is a web hosting service that allows you to host a site online for free. You can use it to manage your builds, deployments, and other settings necessary to get your site up and running over the web.
There may come a time when you decide to take your website down. If you decide to do so, Netlify allows you to delete it using the site settings for the app. Once you delete your site, you will no longer be able to view it through its domain name.
How to Delete Your App on Netlify
When you host a Netlify website, such as an Angular app using Netlify with Github, you can access it over the web using a generated domain. You also have the option to modify your free domain name.
When you delete your website, Netlify removes it from the web. Search engines will then remove the site from their database when they re-index its content. Once you delete your website, you will be unable to view it by entering the domain name into a browser's address bar.
Log in to your Netlify account.
On the dashboard page, under the Sites heading, click on the website that you would like to delete.
Scroll down to the bottom.
Enter the name of the website.
Click on Delete.
Try to access your site using your domain name, such as "https://lighthearted-valkyrie-085afa.netlify.app/". Confirm that you no longer have access to your site.
Go back to the main Netlify dashboard by clicking on the Netlify icon in the top-left corner of the page. Your deleted website will no longer appear in your list of hosted sites.
