Question about deleting communities

[magycmyste]

 Hi, I have a community that I created and deleted on pretty much the same day - April 24th (I'd used the wrong name initially). I'd like to know if there's a way to get it off of my profile page.

I'm certain it should have been deleted by now, albeit maybe not purged entirely, and since I was the only administrator/member while it existed, I couldn't take myself out of it beforehand. I just find it a little irritating to have it still there in my profile. Any suggestions?

Right now, no you can't.

But we have a fix in the works, so that the last maintainer of a deleted community can leave it, which should help. It may be out in the next code push, or the one after that; but code pushes are on hold for the next week or so until mark gets back from his honeymoon so hold on just a little longer.

Hmm, I'm not sure if leaving the community works once the community has been purged. To be safe, try undeleting then redeleting to reset the purging grace period -- once the issue is fixed, you'll be able to remove yourself permanently.

Yikes, thanks for the warning! I went ahead and reset it to active for now. I'll go ahead and delete it once the fix has gone through.

Thanks!

If you want to tell me the name of the group, I can add it and you can make me an admin. That'll allow you to at least get it off your reading page, if you want to.

Hi!

Changes are now live on the site; you should be able to leave now. :)

Thanks! I tried looking around, but I'm not sure how to do it. Do I need to leave first and then delete the community, or the other way around?

Delete the community first, then leave it.

(IIRC, you can't do it the other way around).

Thank you! Just got it done. ^_^

Hooray! Glad to hear it worked!
