How to Delete a System

Last Updated December 29, 2025

Brief Overview

WalkMe admins can delete a system from the Admin Center. Deleted systems enter a 30-day soft delete period, during which they can be restored. After 30 days, the system is permanently deleted.

How It Works

Delete a system

  1. Go to the Systems page in the Admin Center
  2. Select the system you want to delete
  3. Select Delete
  4. Confirm the deletion and select Delete
Note

Deleting a web system also deletes its corresponding mobile web system. Mobile web systems cannot exist without a web system.

Restore a deleted system

  1. Go to the Deleted Systems tab
  2. Select the system you want to restore
  3. Select Restore
  4. Confirm the action and select Restore

Technical Notes

When a system is deleted, it goes through two phases that affect access and recovery.

Phase 1: Days 1–29

  • Users assigned to the system are disconnected
  • The system becomes inactive in the extension
  • WalkMe content is no longer displayed to end users
  • End-user data collection stops

If the system runs using a snippet, your IT team must remove the snippet from the site.

When a system is restored, these actions are reversed. Previously assigned users are not restored and must be reassigned by an admin.

Phase 2: Day 30

After 30 days, the system is permanently deleted. This includes:

  • All system-related users, elements, and configurations
  • User historical data and Insights data
  • Files stored in the extension, database, S3, and CDN

Once this phase is complete, the system cannot be restored.
