Deleting a Meridian app is irreversible. Preserve its code, configuration, secrets, and application data first.
- Inspect the domain and its pre-existing document-root files.
- Open the app’s Manage view and App configuration.
- Select Delete app, check the name, and confirm only when the recovery copy is usable.
Current documentation says the domain is also removed if it contains only app files. Pre-existing files are retained; when the domain remains, it can serve those files again. Check for unintended public content before deletion and verify the resulting domain state afterward.
Use Stop, when offered, if you only need to pause a running process.
Documentation for this guidance: docs.cpanel.net — manage a nodejs app; docs.cpanel.net — how domains serve content.
