If I migrate all my items to a new vault I now have an empty vault that I think I do not need anymore. How do I delete it?

    Hi @jaycopeland,

    What should seem like a very easy question does depend on if the vault in question is a primary vault or a secondary vault.

    If it's a secondary vault then all you need to do is switch to the now empty vault and you will find there is a now enabled menu option which you can find at 1Password > Delete XXXXX Vault... where XXXXX is the name of the vault. You will then be asked for confirmation.

    If it's your primary vault the only way to remove this would be to start over with a fresh copy of 1Password and add all of your vaults back after you've selected an existing vault to become your new primary vault. The reason it's a bit more complex is the primary vault holds a special spot in 1Password so it isn't possible to simply delete it.

    We can cover this second scenario in more detail if it's applicable, we'll wait to hear if this is what you want to do. If you're just wanting to delete a secondary vault though hopefully the explanation above is the bit of information you were needing :smile:
