Last week, in preparing to write the post about shared attachments, I sent several test shared attachments and later found that my SharePoint site was littered with test workspaces. This led to the question, how do you delete a workspace?
1. Go to your main SharePoint site (not a document workspace).
2. Click on Site Actions (top right corner).
3. Click on Site Settings.
4. Under Site Administration, click on Sites and Workspaces.
5. You should see a row for your document workspace. Click on the grey X in the Delete column. Only the owner of a workspace can delete it. If you are not the owner, you will not see the grey X.
6. If asked whether you really want to delete the workspace, click Delete, then OK.

Do workspace members get notification that the workspace has been deleted?

Hi Craig. I just tested it with a coworker, and he did not get notice when I deleted the workspace.
