# Delete Websites
# Delete (soft)
Deleting a website via the UI will remove the website and all associated email accounts will be removed from the end users account. The deleted will continue to appear in the admins account in the 'deleted' state, the deleted website will automatically be permanently deleted according to the 'Hard delete' setting in Settings > Platform > 'Websites and subscriptions'
# Permanently delete
Only admins are able to permanently delete a website from an Enhance cluster
Permanently deleteing a website via the UI will remove the website and all associated email accounts from the server.
When a website is permanently deleted from Enhance, the backups are not immediately removed from the backup server. However the snapshots will continue to expire as per your backup retention settings under Settings > Backup so eventually all backups will be removed. If the snapshot of a permanttly deleted website remains on your server, you can restore the backups manually by re-creating the website and copying the website files to the home dir and restoring the databases with MySQL CLI or through the Enhance panel.
