How do I delete a space as a confluence administrator?

Lancy Quadros

I have a space that I wish to delete. Unfortunately, the two space admins assigned to it no longer work for us! As a confluence administrator, I do not see the option to delete the space. Has anybody run into a similar issue?

Add yourself into the confluence-administrators group and then you should have the space admin rights!

From the Browse menu, select Space Admin. On the Space Admin page under Space Operations there is a Remove Space option.

I ran into a bug in this process a while ago - it threw an error on delete. Solution was to add myself (or the confluence-admin group) into the space permissions with admin rights. You shouldn't have to do this normally - confluence administrators should be able to admin spaces automatically. But just in case you hit the same bug I did, it's worth knowing.

Hi Kay

I don't see the 'Space Admin' option under Browse. It appears that for some reason I was removed from the 'Space Admin' permission list.

I was hoping so - but as I mentioned, I am already a confluence-administrator and I see the 'Confluence Admin' option under browse, but not the 'Space Admin' option.

Oh ok. I thought you are a Confluence Admin but not a member of the confluence-administrators group. You can be a Confluence Admin even if you are not a part of that group but then you won't become a space admin on all the spaces! If you are part of that purticular group, you should have the rights to administer all spaces. Maybe you can raise a case with Atlassian.

Thank you Jobin! I checked again - I noticed that I was not part of the confluence-administrators group. However, my LDAP group was in the Global groups with the exact same privileges as 'confluence-administrators', so, I am not sure why I was missing the 'Space Admin' option under the Browse menu.

This may seem like a silly question, but are you actually in the space that you want to delete when you try to select Spafce Admin or are you doing this from the Dashboard?
