Preparing to Delete a Campaign

To delete a campaign, navigate to Campaigns, click All campaigns, check the box next to the campaign, and click Delete, following the specific steps to initiate the deletion. In the confirmation pop-up, type DELETE in all caps and click Delete to confirm the deletion process.

If you need further assistance, accessing Mailchimp's help articles can be beneficial. These articles provide detailed steps to resolve issues and find solutions. If you have any questions or concerns, you can also reach out to Mailchimp's support team for additional guidance on the deletion process.
