Delete my tree

cannetara

I created my family not knowing that is was public. I wished to keep my tree private. I now realised random strangers are adding incorrect information to my family and ancestors. Also they added a photo of the gravestones of my parents which I wish to keep private. Since, I never wanted any of my information to be public I have tried to delete my tree but it won't let me. Please enable me to delete my family tree???

The FamilySearch Family Tree is meant to be one tree for everyone.

If no one has come behind you and edited a specific profile, you can delete it.

To be clear, deleting your account will not delete any entries you have made in the collaborative FamilySearch Family Tree.

Edit to add - and, deleting your account will prevent you from deleting any entries.
