You can delete sites that you're not using directly from the Wix app and the Wix Studio mobile app (whichever you are using). When you delete a site, it becomes unpublished and you can no longer edit it.
If you decide you need it again, you can restore it within 90 days. After 90 days, your site is permanently deleted. 

Deleting a site

When removing a site, you have a couple of options to choose from. You can move it to the trash folder or permanently delete it.  All sites are easily located from your site list, which vary depending the app you're using.
Notes:
  • Only site owners in your workspace can delete a site.
  • When you permanently delete a site, all site and member data will be erased and you cannot restore it.
Click the relevant app below to locate the site you want to delete.
  1. Go to the Wix app on your mobile device.
  2. Tap the Site List drop-down at the top.
  3. Tap the More Actions icon  next to the relevant site.
  4. Tap Move to Trash, then tap Move to Trash to confirm.

Restoring a site from the trash

Note:
Once you restore a site, it is moved back to your site list and remains unpublished until you publish it again.

  2. Tap the Site List drop-down at the top.
