Deleting a Taxonomy

Contentstack allows you to delete a taxonomy you've created within your stack. However, it's crucial to understand that unless you're the Owner or Admin of the stack, you cannot delete taxonomies created by other stakeholders.

Step-by-Step Guide

Let's walk through the steps to delete a taxonomy:

1. Accessing Taxonomy Settings:

   • Log in to your Contentstack account and navigate to the stack where you want to delete a taxonomy.

   • Click on the "Settings" icon (shortcut: press "S") located on the left navigation panel.

   • Select "Taxonomy" from the settings options.

2. Selecting and Deleting the Taxonomy:

   • Identify the taxonomy you wish to delete from the list.

   • Click on the "ellipsis" (three dots) icon in the Actions column next to the taxonomy you want to remove.

   • From the dropdown menu, choose "Delete."

1. Confirming Deletion:

   • In the prompted Delete Taxonomy modal, type "DELETE" to confirm your action.

   • Click on the "Delete" button to finalize the deletion process.

It's important to understand the consequences of deleting a taxonomy:

• Permanent deletion of the taxonomy and removal of its association with added content types.

• Deletion of all terms within the taxonomy and removal from entries.

Additional Deletion Option

Alternatively, you can also delete a taxonomy by following these steps:

• Click on the "ellipsis" (three dots) at the top right corner of the taxonomy page.

• Select "Delete Taxonomy."

In conclusion, deleting a taxonomy in Contentstack involves a straightforward process, but it's essential to proceed with caution due to the permanent nature of this action. Understanding the implications of deletion ensures smooth management of your content structure.
