How to delete a Discord server

Many people love streaming with Discord, and they use servers to display their shows. However, in some cases, these people want to change their servers and obtain a new one, so they must delete the previous server. This article will briefly show you the instructions to complete the deleting process.

Transferring the ownership of a server

Before trying to delete a server permanently, you should know that there is always an alternative way for it. In this case, instead of deleting the server, you can transfer ownership of a Discord server to another user, giving them complete control to change, edit, and moderate it in the future.

This statement means that you will no longer have any guaranteed control over the server. Furthermore, you cannot delete the server afterward, as only the new server owner will have the power to do so.

How to do it?

• Step one: Open your Discord app or access the Discord website
• Step two: Log into your account, and then select your server name in the top left of the screen
• Step three: Next, press the “Server Settings” option
• Step four: After that, press the “Members” option on the left and under the “User Management” category in the Discord server settings menu
• Step five: Now, you will see a list of server members. Hover over the user you are looking to transfer ownership to, then press the “three-dots menu” icon on the right side.
• Step six: On the following menu, click on the “Transfer Ownership” option.
• Step seven: Finally, you will be asked to confirm that you want to transfer ownership. If your answer is positive, then click on the “slider” and the “Transfer Ownership” button to confirm.

Once confirmed, the new owner will be listed in the Discord members list with a crown next to their name.
