Can you delete things in Clash of Clans?

Solution 1:

You can't do this anymore. You can only delete decorations and traps. Supercell used to have the option, but too many people were accidentally deleting their things so they got rid of it.

We are removing the Sell button in the next major version. Frankly, it's much more trouble than what it's worth. We get a lot of feedback from players who accidentally sold something or that their kids sold their buildings. While we acknowledge that it has been used in some tactics and strategies, we believe that removing it will result in a better overall experience for our players in the long run.
