I have created some communities in the past for testing purposes, but I am unable to delete them completely. They always appear in the side panel even though I have explicitely clicked to delete the community.

When clicking on one of these communities, the only thing I can do is to undo the deleting.

Not sure, but want to chime in because I deleted my community a long time ago and still have mod views (tabs like mod queue, unread reports, mod log) on this account.

Communities cannot be fully "deleted".

They can only be "deleted" in the sense that they disappear for everyone.

You, as a mod, can still see and restore the community. To get rid of it from your list, you'd have to be unassigned as a mod. I don't think that's possible if you're the only mod in a community.

That is possible.

Workaround: Create a throwaway account and assign that as the mod, then leave.
