If you no longer need a Sandbox or Migration environment, you delete it in its settings under Einstellungen > Umgebung (Settings > Environment), in the section Umgebung löschen (delete environment). After that it no longer counts against the limit of your organisation. If your organisation already has ten Sandboxes, you can create a new one after deleting one of them. For this you need the right “Umgebungen anlegen und löschen” (create and delete environments) in the environment, which the Administrator role has, for example. If you want to keep the environment and only empty it, use Deleting data in Sandbox and Migration.
A deleted environment cannot be restored.

​
Consequences

As soon as you confirm, the environment disappears from the list of environments for every member, and their access there is deactivated. The API keys of the environment are invalid at once. Nobody receives an email about it. Members who last worked in the deleted environment carry on in another environment of the organisation. The app picks a Live environment first, then a Sandbox, then a Migration environment, and within the same kind the environment in which the member has had access the longest. Open tabs reload. The data of the environment is deleted in the background, with all data sets. Files in your own file storage remain. Files with a retention lock may also remain. The username (Kennung) of the deleted environment stays taken. A new environment needs a different username.

​
Requirements

You delete a Sandbox or Migration environment in the app as long as your organisation keeps at least one other environment. If a billing run, a data transfer or a deletion of data is running in the environment, you delete it once that has finished. Live environments cannot be deleted.
