Tell us More

We would like to learn more about why you are interested in deleting your Wetpaint site. Can you answer a few quick questions to help us improve Wetpaint? If so, please take this short survey. Thanks!

Q. Can I delete the site or account I’ve created?

A. The Wetpaint interface does not currently provide a delete site or account option. However, your site will automatically be deleted after a period of inactivity. If you have posted material to your site you do not wish to be publicly viewed, we recommend that you edit the pages to remove the content or, if you are a site creator or moderator, you can delete an entire page using the "More Tools" option on the top of the page.

Canceling Membership

You can cancel membership to any Wetpaint site you have created or joined via an option on your account profile page. Canceling your membership will remove you from the site user list and unsubscribe you from all associated email messages for the site. To cancel membership for a site, follow these steps:
  1. Sign in to your account on the site
  2. Click on 'My Profile' near the upper right corner of the site and click on the link to your 'Profile'
  3. Click on the “Cancel Membership” link on your profile page

    Cancel Membership link

  4. Confirm by clicking the Cancel Membership button


If you want to go to another site that you are a member of, click on the "My Wetpaint" link on the silver network bar in the upper right corner of the page. Or, if you want to start a new site go to www.wetpaint.com/wiki.

Your Wetpaint account provides you access to a large number of communities, so you can use it to visit thousands of other Wetpaint sites. There is no obligation to use the account, and our privacy policy ensures your information will never be shared with anyone else.

Requesting Site Deletion

If you still feel that there is an urgent reason to delete your site follow these steps:
  1. Go to the site you want to remove and click "contact us" at the bottom of the page
  2. Send us a message. Be sure it includes your site URL, name and the email address associated to your account. We need your email address to verify that you are the person that created the site.


Do NOT post a thread requesting that your site or account be deleted.
Please follow the above instructions.

to pile onto this already popular topic, why the heck is it so hard to delete a webpage here? I do not like leaving unused "webtrash" around, I like to delete sites I don't maintain anymore, etc. this is a pain in the behind. I won't use this site again because of this issue.

Why do you make it so hard to delete a wiki. What's the big deal?
Do you want to make it look like there are more people using wetpaint than there actually are.
Why not just put a "delete wiki" on admin page?
Please don't tell me that it's technically difficult to do so.

Why? Why? Why? It's really fricking annoying. It's so annoying
I'm not going to use your wiki site any more. thanks
