Deleting a space I did not create?

Question

I have site-admins and administrator privileges and do not have the option to delete a space I did not create.

I'm guessing it's a permission issue, but not sure where to look.

I'm using Confluence Cloud.

Thanks

Hi Peter,

Site Admin permissions don't necessarily give you space permissions on every space.

Space Permissions Overview:

Confluence administrators aren't necessarily space administrators. In order for them to be a space admin, they must belong to a group which has space admin and view permission for the space, or their username must be specifically granted space admin and view permission for the space.

You can still delete the space after adding yourself to the space permissions, by clicking manage permissions next to the space in the list at https://YOUR_INSTANCE.atlassian.net/wiki/admin/permissions/viewdefaultspacepermissions.action

Cheers,

Ann
