Unregister a site as a hub site

If you're a Global Administrator or SharePoint Administrator in Microsoft 365, you can make a hub site no longer a hub site (unregister it as a hub site). Make sure you do this before you delete the hub site. When you unregister a hub site, the associated sites won't automatically disassociate from the hub site. Disassociating a site removes the hub site navigation bar from the top of the site. The look that the site inherited from the hub site stays the same and features such as additional navigation links, applications, or custom lists with specific columns that were added as part of the inherited hub site design will remain. Any hub-site-related web parts added to the home page will only show information from the site instead of from sites associated with the hub.
