What this page helps you do
Remove a game from your workspace — Permanently delete a game you no longer need.
Start from your Games list — Pick the game you want to delete from your team’s Games library.
Confirm before deleting — Boardssey asks you to type the game name so deletion is intentional.
Understand the impact — A short notice at the bottom of the game’s edit page explains what deletion means.

Tips & common questions
I don’t see Edit game.
You need permission to edit that game. If you’re on a team, check with an admin or the game owner; they can grant access or delete the game for you.
The Delete button in the dialog won’t turn on.
The text in the field must match the game name exactly. Check spelling, spaces, and punctuation. Copying the name from the dialog or the page often avoids typos.
I deleted the wrong game.
Deletion is permanent and can’t be undone. If you might need the game again, consider changing its status or archiving it instead of deleting, if your workspace supports that.
Where does the delete option live?
Only on the Edit game page, at the bottom. Open the game → Edit game → scroll down to the Danger Zone and Delete button.
