    • config > [[verticalName]].json - for example, if your vertical was for faqs, delete the file called faqs.json.
    • pages > [[verticalName]].html.hbs - for example, if your vertical was for faqs, delete the file called faqs.html.hbs . Delete option for faqs.json file
  4. Open the Live Preview to confirm that the vertical is no longer appearing in the Search experience.

  5. Click the “Commit” button at the top of the screen.

  6. Add a commit message like “deleting faqs vertical”.

  7. Press the “Confirm” button.
