Deleting channels?

Is there any way to delete channels?

I previously set up several channels for myself to test things out, but right now they mostly feel like unnecessary clutter.

@dynamic_hubzilla Sure. Just go to the settings of the channel you want to delete, and then click the big red button in the top right corner :)

Be careful, though: Once you've deleted a channel, nobody, not even yourself, can ever create a channel with this name on this hub ever again.

So if you think, "I don't need this channel right now, I'mma delete it, maybe I'll make a new one with the same name when I feel like it": No can do.

That's a hell of a caveat. Thanks for including the warning!

@Saiwal No idea! :) That's one of the many parts of the code I'm not familiar enough with to give a qualified answer yet.

It is quite possible to recreate a channel with the same name. However, YOU must contact the administrator of the hub and ask them to delete the old channel name from the database. This does not involve any work.
