-## deleting boards
-
-As Pads are used anonymously we do not apply any roles, so we can not allow somebody to make deletions, else that would cause conflicts among users (think of pupils).
-
-If you want to have a pad deleted please write a message to support@fairkom.eu
-
-As a sysadmin we have some tools:
-
-## API call
-
-We can delete a board by API call
-
-```
-   https://board.net/api/1/deletePad?apikey=secret12345&padID=Myseminar-B3S
-```
-
-or preferred is directly on heu2 so that key is not exposed:
-
-```
-     curl "https://board.net/api/1/deletePad?apikey=secret029b3f1&padID=Myseminar-B3S"
-```
-
-Since heu2 does not resolve his own dns use:
-
-```
-curl -k "https://127.0.0.1/api/1/deletePad?apikey=secret029b3f1&padID=Myseminar-B3S"
-```
-
-or
-
-```
-curl -k "https://localhost/api/1/deletePad?apikey=secret029b3f1&padID=Myseminar-B3S"
-```
-
-Admins: see https://etherpad.org/doc/latest/#index_http_api get how to secret logged in the server from `cat /opt/etherpad-lite/APIKEY.txt` or from keepass.
-
-If we only know the read only link, we need to get the PadID first:
-
-```
-   "https://board.net/api/1.2.14/getPadID?apikey=apikey...&roID=r.dcaf13c86f0df1fbb3627394515087c3"
-```
-
-## delete script
-
-(not reliable working on our large instance)
-
-```
-su etherpad
-cd /opt/etherpad-lite/src
-node bin/checkPad.js test
-node bin/deletePad.js test
-```
-
-## adminpads2 plugin
-
-This is too slow (**so don't use - can cause etherpad to crash! use api calls instead**) see https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/issues/2899#issuecomment-779611308
