How to delete a private server on Roblox
To delete a private server on Roblox, open the game, go to your Servers tab in the main menu, find the private server you want to remove, and click the trash icon next to it. The server disappears when ready, and you stop paying the recurring subscription fee. You cannot recover a deleted server, so make sure no one in your group needs it before you remove it.
The process takes less than a minute and works the same way on computer, mobile, and tablet. If you own the server, you have full permission to delete it at any time. If someone else owns it, you will not see a delete option — only the server owner can remove it.
Key Takeaways
- Deleting a private server stops the monthly subscription charge when ready, even if you paid for the current month in advance.
- The delete action is permanent and cannot be undone, so confirm that no one in your group still uses the server before removing it.
- Only the server owner sees the delete button; other members can only leave the server or ask the owner to remove it.
- Private servers cost Robux each month, and deleting one frees up that recurring expense from your account.
Where to find the Servers tab
Open Roblox and log into your account. On the home page, look at the left sidebar menu. You will see options like Home, Catalog, Create, and Servers. Click Servers to see all private servers you own or are a member of.
On mobile, tap the three horizontal lines (menu icon) at the bottom right of the screen, then scroll down to find Servers. The layout is slightly different, but the server list looks the same. If you do not see a Servers option, you may not own any private servers yet — only server owners and invited members see this tab.
Locating your private server in the list
Once you are in the Servers tab, you will see a list of all private servers connected to your account. Each server shows the game name, the number of players currently in it, and when it was created. Scroll through the list to find the server you want to delete.
If you own many servers, you can search by game name using the search bar at the top of the list. This saves time if you are looking for a specific one. Hover over or tap each server entry to see more details, including the monthly cost in Robux and the renewal date.
Clicking the delete button and confirming removal
When you find the server you want to delete, look for a small trash icon or X button on the right side of that server's entry. Click or tap it. A confirmation message will appear asking "Are you sure you want to delete this server?" This is your final note to change your mind.
Read the message carefully. It will remind you that deletion is permanent and that you will lose access to the server when ready. If you are certain, click Confirm or Yes. The server is then removed from your list, and the monthly subscription charge stops right away.
What happens after you delete a server
Once deleted, the private server no longer exists. Any players currently in the server are kicked out and returned to the main game lobby. They cannot rejoin that specific server because it no longer runs. If they want to play together again, they will need to create a new private server or play in public servers.
Your Robux are not refunded for the current month, even if you paid in advance. However, you will not be charged again next month. If you change your mind and want a private server again, you can create a new one and pay the full monthly cost at that time.
Removing members before deletion (optional)
Before you delete a server, you may want to let members know it is closing. While you can delete the server without warning, giving people a heads-up is courteous if they use it regularly. You can send them a message through Roblox chat or Discord to let them know the server will be gone on a specific date.
You can also remove individual members from the server before deleting it, if you want to keep the server running but change who has access. To do this, go to the server settings, find the members list, and click the remove button next to each player's name. This is different from deleting the entire server.
If you cannot find the delete button
If you do not see a trash icon or delete option next to a server, you are likely not the owner. Only the account that created and paid for the private server can delete it. If you are a member but not the owner, you can only leave the server by clicking a Leave button instead.
Contact the server owner and ask them to delete it if you no longer want it to exist. They have full control over the server and can remove it whenever they choose. If the owner is inactive or unreachable, the server will continue to exist and charge Robux each month until someone with ownership deletes it.
