As a collection Owner, you can delete a collection. To do so, you must complete the following steps:

  1. Log in to your corresponding Cerby workspace.

  2. Select the Collections option from the left navigation drawer. The Collections view is displayed.

  3. Click the More options () icon from the collection. A drop-down list is displayed.

  4. Select the Delete collection option. The Delete collection? dialog box is displayed.

  5. Select how you want to delete the collection:

    • Keep account permissions for the same users and teams: You will delete the collection but maintain the account, secrets, and subcollections within it in Cerby. When you select this option, the subcollections inside become root collections and are displayed in the Collections view.

    • Delete all items in the collection: You will delete all accounts, secrets, and subcollections inside it. When you choose this option, another Delete collection? dialog box is displayed. Click the Delete all items button to delete all items.

      IMPORTANT: Be careful when choosing this option. It is not possible to recover the items later.

Now you are done.
