Discord: Everything You Need to Know About Leaving Servers

How do I leave a Discord server?

Open the server's menu and select Leave Server. The way to leave a Discord server is the same on the desktop, mobile, and web apps: simply click or tap on the server's name in the upper-left (or top of the screen, on mobile) to open the server menu. Then, select the red Leave Server button at the bottom of the menu. You may have to scroll to see the option on mobile.

Can I leave a server that I created?

Yes, but you must transfer ownership of the server first. To transfer ownership of a server, go to Server Settings > Members, then locate the user you want to transfer ownership to. Then click the three-dot menu next to their name and select Transfer Ownership. Once you've transferred ownership of the server, you can then leave it by clicking or tapping on the server's name and selecting Leave Server. If you want to leave a server that you created but that has no other members, you can delete it instead. To do this, open your Server Settings, scroll down, and select Delete Server. However, once a server is deleted, it can't be restored, so make sure you really want to delete it before doing so.

Can I leave a server without anyone knowing?

The only way to leave a server secretly is to abandon your account. There are many variables when it comes to how noticeable your exit from the server will be, but there is no way to completely hide that you left a server. If the server has thousands of members and you weren't active it's not likely that you leaving would be noticed, but a smaller server or one that you chatted in often would likely notice your absence. When you leave a Discord server, these are some of the ways the remaining users may find out that you left: You aren't on the member list anymore You aren't chatting in the server anymore The audit log shows the server admins that you left The server has a bot that notifies some or all members of users that leave The server has a bot that prints audit messages to admins in a dedicated server, where it would show that you left As such, the only way to truly leave a Discord server without being noticed is to stop using your account. The remaining users may notice that you aren't coming around anymore, but there would be no audit logs or bot messages announcing that you left.

What happens if I rejoin a server I left?

When you rejoin, you will be (mostly) treated as a new user by Discord. You will join the server with no roles (unless the server has a default role for new joiners) and your join date will be new. However, any messages you sent prior to leaving (that are still in the server) will be attributed to your account again.
