Delete Tree on Ancestry from Family Tree Makers Support's blog

If you're trying to delete tree on ancestry, you should know that the process involves a few key steps. First, log into your Ancestry account and navigate to the tree you want to delete. From there, go to the "Tree Settings" section, which can be found by clicking on the tree’s name in the top-left corner and selecting "Tree Settings." Once in the settings, you should find an option to delete the tree. Before proceeding, be sure that you want to permanently delete it, as this action cannot be undone. Deleting a tree will remove it entirely from Ancestry’s system, including all the data, photos, and family information attached to it. If you're uncertain about deleting your tree on Ancestry, consider creating a backup or exporting it before taking this step. It's also worth noting that if your tree is linked to other family trees or resources, deleting it will break those connections, so be sure to take a moment to review any implications before moving forward. If you're simply trying to remove or hide specific parts of the tree, Ancestry also offers other tools to manage and edit your tree instead of fully deleting it.

If you're unsure how to proceed or if the option to delete your tree isn't readily available, it might be helpful to visit Ancestry's help page or contact their support team. They can provide more personalized guidance on how to delete a tree on Ancestry, especially if you're experiencing any difficulties. Additionally, if you’ve accidentally added incorrect or unwanted information to your tree, you might prefer to edit or remove specific individuals or facts rather than delete the entire tree. This way, you can maintain the structure of your family history while ensuring the accuracy of the data.

If you choose to delete a tree, keep in mind that all the research you've done will be lost, and once the tree is deleted, you can't retrieve any information that was part of it. Therefore, if you ever plan to revisit the tree or need the information later, exporting it beforehand is a wise precaution.
