Context

You may want to delete a collection that you created using the Crossmint API, particularly during development or testing phases. This is a common request when working with collections in staging environments.

Answer

Collections cannot be deleted once they are created because smart contracts are permanent on the blockchain. This is a fundamental limitation of blockchain technology - once a contract is deployed, it cannot be removed.

However, Crossmint can hide collections from your console view so they no longer appear in your dashboard. This must be done manually by the Crossmint support team, as there is currently no programmatic way to hide collections.

If you need a collection hidden from your console view, please contact Crossmint support with your collection ID and they will be able to assist you with this request.

Note: The collection will still exist on the blockchain, but it will no longer be visible in your Crossmint console interface.
