If...

...holds a list, then...

https://www.example.com/sites/foo/bar/baz/qux/_layouts/viewlsts.aspx

 
 

...will hold an inventory of all of the lists. If you audit the inventory you may find lists that you've created on accident which are now extraneous. Delete a list by first going to it by clicking onto it at viewlsts.aspx and then, from the list itself:

1. click in the list, the ribbon should appear if it is not yet showing
2. click on the "List" subtab within the "List Tools" tab
3. click "List Settings"
4. click "Delete this list"
