How to delete an improperly created space

[mithrilstar]

I just signed up to Confluence (free tier) and as part of the onboarding created a space. However the settings for the spaceshow no option to either change the name or delete the space etc. To compare I created another space and that one shows all the options. I have not invited any other member yet.

My question is how to either get the state configured right for the old project or at least have it be deleted.

Thanks

The same thing happened to me on my free-tier Confluence Cloud instance. Unfortunately, since the free tier only has Community-driven support, I don't think we can get spaces like these deleted. I believe this space deletion requires a system administrator, and only Atlassian Support has system administrator permissions on Confluence Cloud instances.

Then it likely points to a bug in their onboarding process.. I mean it's not exactly a problem if it just sits there unused.. but yeah it's a little irritating. Oh well I though maybe I was missing something simple as a new user.

Just found out that Atlassian knows about this issue and is working on a fix! More info here:
