{% note %}
**Note:** Only the person who created a codespace can delete it. There is currently no way for organization owners to delete codespaces created within their organization.
{% endnote %}

{% webui %}
1. Navigate to the "Your Codespaces" page at [github.com/codespaces](https://github.com/codespaces).
2. To the right of the codespace you want to delete, click {% octicon "kebab-horizontal" aria-label="The horizontal kebab icon" %}, then click **{% octicon "trash" aria-label="The trash icon" %} Delete**

{% endvscode %}
{% cli %}
{% data reusables.cli.cli-learn-more %}
To delete a codespace use the `gh codespace delete` subcommand and then choose a codespace from the list that's displayed.
```shell
gh codespace delete
```
If you have unsaved changes, you'll be prompted to confirm deletion. You can use the `-f` flag to force deletion, avoiding this prompt.
For more information about this command, see [the {% data variables.product.prodname_cli %} manual](https://cli.github.com/manual/gh_codespace_delete).
{% endcli %}
