      Nope. You need to kick everyone out and leave. Anyone could message admins and request to take over.

        I was thinking it was like chat groups in IM apps the owner/creator of the group can delete the group, so only Reddit can delete the subreddit that I create!

          Afaik only reddit can delete a sub and I believe even they probably only lock them and kick everyone out?
          I speak from experience as I created a novel sub r/FuckYourBoat (or something like that) and got tired of being considered a mod in the toolbars (don’t need them there) so I tried to get rid of it. No dice: Only leaving.
