How can I delete a plan in Microsoft Planner?

Category: Planner

Only the owner of the Microsoft 365 group linked to a Planner plan has permission to delete the plan. This applies across both the web version and the desktop client of Microsoft Planner.

🧭 Who Can Delete a Plan?

  • The plan owner is the Microsoft 365 group owner associated with the plan
  • If you’re not the group owner, you won’t see the delete option
  • To proceed, you’ll need to request deletion from the group owner or your system administrator

✅ Recommended Steps

  1. Identify the group owner
    • Check with your supervisor or IT help desk if you’re unsure
  2. Request deletion
    • Provide the plan name and reason for deletion
  3. Create a new plan if needed, with updated members and structure
