Delete center safely

Deleting a center in the dashboard uses a two-step flow: full backup (ZIP) first, then confirmed deletion. Shared master data used by other centers is never removed.

Where in the dashboard​

Content → Shopping Centers → open center → Delete.

Flow​

  1. Preview — what will be removed vs. what stays shared (e.g. shop chains with locations in other centers).
  2. Automatic backup — same ZIP as center data export; download starts automatically.
  3. Review — checkbox confirming the ZIP was opened and checked.
  4. Delete — button enabled only after confirmation.

Optional: Reassign content to another center instead of deleting it.

Preserved data​

Shop chains used elsewhere, global categories, organization records, and non-center-scoped media are not deleted.

API​

GET …/delete-preview → POST …/export/start with { "purpose": "pre_deletion" } → download ZIP → DELETE …/centers/{id} with { backupJobId, backupAcknowledged: true }.
