Is it possible to completely remove all content, styles, and CMS from a paid plan website started with a template in Webflow?
TL;DR
- Delete all non-default pages, clear the default page manually, and remove all CMS collections after deleting their items and references.
- Clear styles via the Style Manager, delete symbols and assets, reset forms and custom code in Project Settings, and manually remove any template branding.
Yes, you can completely remove all content, styles, and CMS collections from a Webflow site that started with a template—even if it’s on a paid plan.
1. Delete All Pages (Except the Default Page)
- Go to Pages Panel in the Designer.
- Hover over each page (other than the default "Home" page), click the three-dot options menu, and choose Delete.
- You can’t delete the default page, but you can clear its content manually.
2. Clear or Remove Styles
- There is no global “reset” button for styles, so you’ll need to:
- Delete global classes via the Style Manager (press G key in Designer or open it via right sidebar).
- Remove custom fonts and global color swatches from the Style Panel and Project Settings.
3. Delete CMS Collections and Items
- Go to the CMS panel in the Designer.
- For each Collection:
- Delete all Collection Items first.
- Then click the gear icon for the Collection and choose Delete Collection.
- You must delete all references and multi-reference fields before a Collection can be deleted.
4. Remove Symbols and Components
- Open the Components panel (formerly Symbols).
- Click on each symbol/component and choose Delete.
5. Delete Assets
- Go to the Assets panel.
- Click the trash can icon next to each file to delete images, video, or other uploads.
6. Reset Forms and Integrations
- Go to Project Settings > Forms and clear or update form submission settings.
- Remove any integrations/scripts under Project Settings > Custom Code and Integrations tab.
7. Optional: Remove Template Branding
- If the template added any branding or watermarking (in content or styles), delete that manually.
- Check global classes, footer elements, and custom code for references to the original template.
Summary
To completely clean a Webflow template site, you’ll need to manually delete pages, CMS collections, assets, styles, and symbols. There’s no single “reset” button, but clearing each area ensures a blank slate you can build on while keeping your hosting plan active.
