Odoo How to Delete Website? Complete Guide for Odoo
If you are asking “Odoo how to delete website?”, the first thing to clarify is whether you want to delete an individual website page or remove an entire website from a multi-website Odoo database. For most Odoo users, the requirement is to delete a page such as About Us, Contact Us, Shop, Landing Page or an old campaign page.
Odoo 17, Odoo 18 and Odoo 19 provide built-in tools for deleting website pages and managing URL redirects. Odoo's official documentation also recommends checking links that point to a page before deleting it.
How to Delete a Website Page in Odoo
Follow these steps in Odoo:
Step 1: Open the Odoo Website App
Log in to your Odoo database and open Website.
If you operate multiple websites, first select the website containing the page you want to remove.
Step 2: Open Website Pages
Go to:
Website → Site → Pages
Find the page you want to delete, such as:
- About Us
- Old Services
- Contact Us
- Outdated Landing Page
- Old Product Page
- Campaign Page
Odoo allows you to manage individual pages from the Pages menu.
Step 3: Open Page Properties
Open the page and go to:
Website → Site → Properties
Click Delete Page.
Alternatively, Odoo 19 allows you to select one or multiple pages from Website → Site → Pages, then choose Actions → Delete.
Step 4: Check Links Before Deleting
This is the most important step for businesses concerned about SEO.
Odoo displays links referring to the page you are deleting. Review these links and update them where necessary.
For example, if you delete:
/old-services
but your homepage, menu, blog posts or other pages still link to it, visitors may encounter a broken page.
Step 5: Use a 301 Redirect When Appropriate
If the old page has Google rankings, backlinks or valuable traffic, do not simply delete it.
Instead, redirect the old URL to a relevant replacement page.
Odoo supports URL redirection, including 301 redirects for permanently moved pages. Redirects can be managed through Website → Configuration → Redirects with developer mode enabled.
For example:
/old-odoo-services → /odoo-consulting
This helps preserve the user journey and can protect SEO value during website restructuring.
Can You Delete the Entire Odoo Website?
Be careful with the terminology.
Deleting a website page is different from deleting an entire Odoo database. If your database contains multiple websites, companies, eCommerce data, customers, invoices, products or accounting records, you should not delete the database simply because one website is no longer required.
Odoo supports multiple websites in a single database, with website-specific domains and configuration.
For a complete website decommissioning project, review:
- Domain and DNS configuration
- Website pages and menus
- Redirects
- SEO/indexing
- eCommerce products
- Forms and email routes
- Analytics and tracking
- Payment providers
- Customer-facing URLs
- Backups and compliance requirements
This is especially important for companies in Germany and the EU, where customer, accounting and business data may need to remain available even after a website is retired.
Odoo Website Deletion and SEO
Deleting a page can create SEO problems if handled incorrectly.
Before removing an indexed URL, check whether it receives:
- Organic Google traffic
- Backlinks
- Internal links
- Leads
- Sales
- Conversions
If the content has been permanently replaced, a 301 redirect is generally preferable to leaving valuable traffic at a dead end. Odoo specifically documents redirects as useful when deleting pages, changing URLs and migrating websites.
Odoo Website Migration and Cleanup
Website deletion is often part of a larger Odoo migration or implementation project. During a migration, businesses may have duplicate pages, outdated URLs, old domains, unused products or legacy website content.
