How to delete personal spaces created in Confluence by users who have now left the organization?

Milan Chheda [INFOSYSTA]

We had few users who created personal spaces as well as other documentation spaces. They have now left the organization. So, as a part of clean-up as well as to keep Confluence clean, we want to delete unwanted pages/spaces as well as personal spaces created by those users.

How do we access/delete those personal spaces and their respective pages? Or How do we transfer that to someone so that other user can access/delete those spaces?

Since those spaces were personal, even the administrators don't have access to it. So how do we clean them up?

Hi @Milan Chheda [INFOSYSTA],

As a System Admin or site admin, one can always -

1. Navigate to Space directory (Spaces > Space directory)
2. View the details of the space (you intend to) by clicking the info icon of the respective space
3. In the Overview tab -
   
   Space Details - you can edit the details of the space including changing the name of the space and adding/deleting/managing user permissions to the space.
   
   Delete Space - you can delete the space by clicking OK.

The system admins will always have access to all the spaces. You can also look into this page for help.

Hope it helps!

@Salla Yes! Admins do have permissions.

 

Thanks
