How do I delete a 1-click WordPress installation?

We recommend deleting old WordPress installations that you no longer use. Old WordPress installations are often forgotten and not updated, making them vulnerable to hackers. Follow the steps below to delete a 1-click WordPress installation.


Step 1 - Go to WordPress in the one.com Control Panel

Log in to the one.com Control Panel and click on WordPress in the menu on the left.

    1. Find the installation you want to delete. Click the three dots in front of the arrow on the right side of the screen next to it and click Delete
    2. Enter your Control Panel password and click Delete.
