Because topic names and descriptions aren't private, administrators can delete topics for compliance reasons or to remove inappropriate content. When deleting topics, consider these points.
- Topics are permanently deleted. They aren’t sent to the Recycle Bin.
- Deleted topics are removed from search results, the topics list, all posts and records, Recently Talked About topics, Related Topics, and your users’ favorites. After the next calculation, deleted topics are removed from Trending Topics.
- Users can reintroduce a topic after it’s been deleted.
To delete a topic:
- Navigate to the topic detail page.
-
In the upper right, click Delete (Lightning Experience) or
and choose
Delete (Salesforce Classic).
