2. Click and drag your cursor to mark all the relevant elements.

3. Choose how you want to delete the elements:

   • Keyboard: Press Delete on your keyboard.

Deleting apps from your site

The way to delete an app from your site depends on where it appears:

• A full page app in the editor: Certain apps like Wix Stores, Wix Blog, or Wix Bookings add pages to your site. You cannot just delete the page, you need to delete the app from My Business.

• An app placed on a page in your editor: Some apps don't take up an entire page – these are elements / widgets that you can place on any site page. To delete this type of app, simply remove the relevant element from your page.

• An app in your site's dashboard: Some apps work in the background and aren't added to your editor. They only appear in your site's dashboard, and that's where you can remove them.

Note:

If you delete an app with a paid subscription, make sure you also cancel the subscription from your account.

FAQs

I deleted something by accident. How do I get it back?

If you delete an element by mistake, you can revert the change by clicking the Undo

icon in the top bar of the editor.

Note: You can only undo changes you've made to your site in the current session. For example, if you make a change in the editor, then close the tab or sign out of your Wix account, it is not possible to undo that change when you open the editor again.

Is there a way I can restore elements and components that I deleted in a previous session?

Absolutely. You can access, view, and restore previous versions of your site with your Site History.

Note: If you restore a previous version of your site, any changes you've made since are reverted. However, there are some components that are not affected when you restore a site.

How do I delete my site?

You can move a site to the Trash folder from either your editor, or the site's dashboard. Don't worry - you can always restore it if you change your mind. Learn how to restore a deleted site
