Replace current home Site?

Question

I've inherited a SP Online site and would like to create a new site collection to replace the existing collection. Is there actually a way to do this? Or will I need to just tweak the existing site?

Answer 1

I think you mean the root site collection which is a little different in that you can't recreate it once it's deleted.

You'll need to open a support ticket with Microsoft to do this. It might take some time - these guys are kind of slow (as in, "methodical") but they'll be able to do that.

Answer 2

you have two options

1.- Request a new site

2.- Clear your current site
