Microsoft FrontPage: How Do I Delete A Frontpage Sub Web

Subwebs and Permissions

A named subdirectory, which is called a subweb, is a complete web site nested inside another web site. The site that contains a subweb is called a root or parent web. Since the first version of FrontPage, subwebs have been supported, and with FrontPage 2000, the concept of nested subwebs was introduced. A site administrator / Webmaster can use subwebs to organise the site logically, streamline work and delegate parts of the site to others. First, it is crucial to understand the difference between a folder and a subweb. If you open a web that contains both folders and subwebs, you can see the way the two are represented.

A subweb icon has a small globe on the picture of a folder.
A folder icon just shows the folder with no globe.

When you make a subweb initially, it can inherit certain site settings (such as theme information and permissions) from its parent site (root web).

However with a subweb you can change this and have:

• Different Themes
• Different Content in the shared borders
• Different navigation layout, but still incorporate links to the rootweb
• Different Permissions - such as password protection

Deleting a web site or subweb

WARNING: If you want to keep your files, BACK THEM UP before deleting the web site or subweb. After you delete a web site or subweb, it is permanently destroyed and cannot be restored. If you created the web site by converting a folder on your computer (or on another computer) into a web site, that folder and all of its contents will be permanently deleted from that computer.

To Delete a web site or subweb that you\'re currently editing in FrontPage,

• Right-click the web site or subweb in the Folder list
• Click \'Delete\' on the popup menu.

NOTE: You cannot delete a subweb unless you have administrative permissions on the parent web site.
