Use the space management tool to bulk delete Google Chat spaces
What’s changing
Using the space management tool, admins can now delete multiple spaces within their organization at once. Over time, as more spaces are created, the list of spaces for an organization can become cluttered with abandoned and inactive spaces. Having the ability to delete multiple spaces at once can simplify the effort required by admins to manage spaces for an organization. . For example, admins can sort spaces based on their member count in descending order or based on the last activity in the space. From there, admins can select multiple spaces and delete them with one click.

Additional details
When viewing spaces in your organization, you’ll notice a new column: Group counts. In this column, admins can see how many groups are members of a specific space.

- Super admins can access the Space Management Tool by default. Other admins will require the “manage chat and spaces conversations” privilege to access the tool. If this is your first time using the space management tool, please read more about the space management tool.
- This feature will be available by default in the Admin console at Apps > Google Workspace > Settings for Google Chat > Manage spaces. Visit the Help Center to learn more about deleting one or more spaces in the Admin console.
