How do I delete a call?

You can delete a call from the call edit page. Only platform administrators can delete calls.

Steps to Delete a Call

Navigate to the call edit page
Go to your calls list and click on the call you want to delete
Click the "Edit" button (or go to /calls/{call_id}/edit/)
Scroll to the bottom of the edit page
Find the "Danger Zone" section at the bottom
This section has a red background to indicate it contains destructive actions
Click "Delete This Call"
A confirmation modal will appear
Type the confirmation text
The modal will show: delete {call title}
You must type this exact text (case-insensitive) to confirm deletion
For example, if your call is titled "Spring Art Show 2024", you would type: delete Spring Art Show 2024
Confirm deletion
Once you've typed the correct confirmation text, the "Delete Call" button will become enabled
Click it to complete the deletion

After deletion, you'll be redirected to your calls list, and the deleted call will no longer appear.

Important Notes

Only administrators can delete calls - jurors and artists do not have this permission
Deletion requires confirmation - you must type the exact call title to prevent accidental deletions
This action cannot be undone - make sure you really want to delete the call before confirming
All entries remain - deleting a call does not delete the entries submitted to it

Troubleshooting

The delete button doesn't appear: - Make sure you're logged in as a platform administrator - Verify you're on the call edit page (not just viewing the call) - Check that you have admin access to this specific platform

The confirmation text doesn't match: - Make sure you're typing the exact call title as shown in the modal - The text is case-insensitive, but must match exactly otherwise - Copy and paste the text from the modal if you're having trouble

The call still appears after deletion: - Try refreshing the page - Check that you're looking at the correct platform's calls list - If the issue persists, contact support
