# Delete a Domain

If you delete a Domain, all elements that belong to the Domain are also deleted.

##

If there are elements that you do not want to delete, move them to another Domain before deleting the Domain. You cannot delete the predefined Shared Domain. Only administrators who have unrestricted permissions (superusers) can edit and delete Domains.
