Sure, but you can't undo it, once it is done. Maybe it was stupid to
take on this responsibility, but deleting the site is not an ethical
way to rectify the mistake.
Your comments reminded me of one of my favorite quotes (immortalized as a
quip in our Bugzilla installation at <https://bugs.wikimedia.org/>):
"creating a wiki is like creating a baby: yes you should have a good
reason to create one, but if you don't for whatever reason, you should
have an _extra_ good reason for killing one." :-)
