Why Can’t I Delete A Discord Server?
Sometimes, you may find that you’re unable to delete a Discord server on your iPad. Here are some reasons why and how to fix them:
1. You don’t have the appropriate permissions to delete the server.
– Ensure that you’re the owner of the server or have the right permissions to delete it. Otherwise, contact the server owner to grant these permissions to you.
2. There is a minimum requirement for server deletion.
– If your server has been recently created, or if it only has a few members or channels, it cannot be deleted. Wait for a while until the server reaches these requirements.
3. You have 2FA Authentication enabled.
– If you have 2FA authentication enabled, you need to verify your login before you can delete a server.
Implications and Recommendations
Deleting a Discord server permanently removes all server data, including channels, messages, and roles. As such, it’s essential to ensure that you’re deleting the right server before you proceed. It’s a good practice to back-up your server data before you delete your server finally. You can do this by exporting the channel messages and saving them to your local storage or cloud storage.
