# Delete a site

Deletes a site, including its pages, settings, media files, data sources, presentation elements, dictionaries, components, variants, and page designs. Everyone in the environment will lose access to the deleted site.
Deleting a site affects related websites in the collection:
• If the site [shares](https://doc.sitecore.com/xmc/en/users/xm-cloud/create-a-site.html#share-a-site) items with other sites, this might result in broken links.
• Items that are cloned to other sites are turned into regular items, and the links removed.
