Are you trying to delete a place in Roblox?
Places are very hard to create in Roblox. It takes a lot of time and effort to build the environment that you want. Sometimes a place can be so full that editing it is simply not worth it anymore. In that case, you may want to just delete a whole place and start over. Roblox games can work around multiple places at a time as well.
Deleting a place is not as simple as hitting an abort button. There are several steps that you need to learn. You also need to be careful not to delete the wrong one that you might want to use later. There is no way to retrieve places that have been completely deleted.

Roblox
David Baszucki and Erik Cassel created Roblox in 2004 as a game creation system. The pair later released it under the Roblox Corporation in 2006. The game took a few years to take off, but it has become very popular since the mid-2010s. Like a lot of other games, Roblox gained peak popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Users can develop their own games in Roblox using the programming language Lua. The Roblox Corporation also released Roblox Studio as a free software for game development. You can create your environment in Roblox Studio before uploading it into the game.
The platform is available for free on Microsoft Windows, macOS, Xbox One, Android, and iOS. While Roblox is free, you can also opt to get a Premium Membership or buy some Robux to use in-game.
There are over 164 million monthly users for Roblox. More than half of these are kids under 16, so developers make games for younger audiences. Games can be both single-player and multiplayer. The developers also decide how many players can participate in their games. All published games are available for public servers. If you want to create a private server with your friends, it will cost you some Robux.
What is a Place in Roblox
Roblox places are individual rooms that contain blocks, objects, meshes, and everything else in your environment. Their files also contain the scripts, UI, and other important parts of programming a video game.
Games in Roblox can be made up of several places. However, all players always spawn in the same starting place. Creating a new place is the first step to making a new game in Roblox. Games connect multiple places together so you can move from one setting to another.
You can use Roblox Studio to add more places to your game. After you publish your game, all its places will be added to your Places folder. Find this in the Asset Manager window under the View tab in Roblox Studio. You can also add new places by simply right-clicking an empty area of the window and clicking on Add New Place.
Although all players have the same starting place, you can add several starting places for more levels or stages. You can do this by making several places and moving players between them in the Asset Manager. This is outlined as Teleporting Between Places.

Look for and click on the “Publish to Roblox As…” option.
