Good to know

Leaving a shared list and deleting a list are different actions.

Deleting a list

  1. Use Delete when the list itself should be removed.
  2. Open the list options and choose the delete action.
  3. Read the warning carefully, especially if other people use the list.
  4. Confirm only when you are sure the list should be deleted.

Difference between leaving and deleting

Leaving removes you from a shared list while allowing the list to continue for the remaining members when supported.

Deleting removes the list itself.

Use the action that matches what you actually want to happen.
