Sometimes, you may find it necessary to delete opne of the custom menus you created in Drupal 7. This tutorial is for a complete deletion and not simply disabling the menu, so once this is done, the menu will be gone forever. This is easily accomplished in the Drupal Administrator Dashboard.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Log into your Drupal 7 Dashboard<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Go to Structure >> Menus<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Click Edit menu<\/strong> next to the menu you want to delete
    \"drupal_delete_menu_1\"<\/a>\n
    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  4. Find the Delete<\/strong> button and click on it<\/li>\n
  5. A confirmation page will appear. Click on the Delete<\/strong> button to confirm you want to delete the menu.
    \n

    Menus that you delete will not delete any nodes (pages, articles, posts, etc) you may have created. Deleting a menu only removes the links to the nodes.<\/p>\n

    \"drupal_delete_menu_2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You cannot delete any of the default menus in Drupal 7. These menus do not contain the Delete<\/strong> button to ensure you do not remove them.<\/p>\n
