I am the site admin and I do not see any ⚙ to manage/delete any chat channels.

> ### Closing and deleting channels
> 
> Admins and moderators can close or delete channels from the Browse Channels page, using the ⚙ icon next to their Channel name. A closed channel can be reopened any time, but deleting a channel is not reversible, so there is an additional confirmation check in place.
