Delete workspace

Consider the following:

  • If you're an Admin on the workspace, you can delete all the items within it, remove everyone - including yourself - from sharing, or get Owner permissions to delete the workspace. 
  • If you delete an item and the workspace it lived in, the system recreates the workspace if the item’s Owner undeletes it.
