I'm trying to delete a 5+ year old world, and I've deleted all the necessary material, including both campaigns and expelled all the Heroes. Instead of the world actually being deleted, I just get a 404 and am redirected to my world's home page. My other two, less detailed, 3 year old worlds were able to be deleted fine.

Steps to Reproduce

  • Delete all "binding" elements that prevent an old world from being deleted (campaigns, characters, etc)
  • Attempt to Delete World
  • Operating System

    Windows

    Browser

    Firefox

    Sorry about the duplicate! I didn't see this post when I wrote mine; guess I must have missed it. How long does this sort of this take to fix? I'm still having the issue.

    Same issue! Trying to delete my old world te make space for a new one. I deleted áll the campaigns (2), expelled all the characters (18), and even deleted all the timelines (3) and articles (105), but no matter how many times I try, it won't actually delete the world, just show me a 404 screen, and when I go to the homepage, the would-be deleted world is active. I created it ~2 years ago (13th of May, 2022), so I don't think it's the age of it? I have no idea what's causing it, to be honest.   Edit: I see now that this was in November, so it's either happening again, or this is still going on. Either way, I upvoted it and hope it will be fixed some time. (This in no way is trying to rush anyone, I hope it didn't come of like that!)

    Same here, ended up making a planet to where my "realms" or worlds could merge, didn't need the world currently there and unable to delete it. any idea when this might get fixed?

    I'm a free user, I can't create any other worlds because of this bullsh*t, I deleted any campaigns or heroes or characters and have no subscribers. Idk if this is to force me to get a subscription but either way f*ck this, going back to using word folders
