Secondary sites can be removed from within the parent site's Configuration Manager console using the Delete Secondary Site Wizard.
When removing a secondary site using the Delete Secondary Site Wizard, you must choose whether to delete or uninstall the secondary site:
- Deleting the site will delete all information
about the site and its resources from the Configuration Manager
site database at its parent site, but it will leave the
Configuration Manager secondary site installed on the secondary
site computer. Select this option if you have already manually
uninstalled the secondary site using Configuration Manager Setup at
the secondary site computer.

| When Configuration Manager 2007 sites are deleted, the deleted site information is only deleted from the deleted site's direct parent site. Site deletion information is not propagated up the hierarchy to grandparent sites. In order to delete the site from the site database at sites above the deleted site's direct parent site, the hierarchy maintenance tool (Preinst.exe) must be run on every primary site above the deleted site's parent primary site using the command Preinst /delsite. For more information about the hierarchy maintenance tool, see Hierarchy Maintenance Tool (Preinst.exe). |
- Uninstalling the site will uninstall the
Configuration Manager secondary site, and then delete all
information about the site and its resources from the Configuration
Manager site database at its parent site.
