How can I delete empty collections and remove the CMS from my Webflow site?
To delete empty collections and remove the CMS from your Webflow site, follow these steps:
Identify empty collections: Go to the "CMS Collections" tab in the Webflow Designer and locate any collections that do not contain any items. Empty collections are generally no longer needed and can be safely deleted.
Delete empty collections: To delete a collection, click on the ellipsis icon (three dots) next to the collection name and select "Delete". Confirm the deletion by clicking "Delete" again in the pop-up modal. Be cautious when deleting collections as it permanently removes all associated data.
Remove CMS from site pages: After deleting empty collections, you may want to remove the CMS functionality from the site pages. To do this, open the Designer and select the specific page where you want to remove CMS features.
Navigate to the "Pages" tab on the right sidebar and find the page you want to remove CMS from. Click on the "Settings" gear icon next to the page name.
In the "Page Settings" panel, scroll down to the "Collection" section. Click on the dropdown menu under "Collection" and select "None". This removes the CMS functionality from the page.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 for every page where you want to remove the CMS functionality.
Publish changes: Once you have deleted empty collections and removed CMS functionality from the pages, save the changes and publish your site to make them live.
By following these steps, you can delete empty collections and remove CMS functionality from your Webflow site, streamlining your site's structure and improving performance.
