Provided you don't let your membership lapse, then yes. But, of course they wont have anything in your tree to look at.

Well if you remain a paying member you will still be able to see your contacts trees.
BUT
If I was one of your contacts I would be extremely upset and delete access.

hi thank you all for your reply,s i think i should exsplain why i want to delete on my tree there are a lot of mistakes i/e joe blogs then unknown then spouse,s name i have asked g/r how to remove them they say i will have to delete all that line as i have over 70 of them like that it will take forever g/r said they would remove them for me if i let them have all the name, s . i hope that by removing my tree and exporting my ancestry tree it will cure the problem i hope you can under stand what i mean. msc

Ok, think we understand your motives now.

Many of us on here maintain their tree on their PC, using software such as FTM, and then upload all or part of it to GR every now and again. If you do this then there is no need to delete anything, as the act of uploading a new gedcom to GR will automatically replace everything you had on here before.

You will loose any Hot Matches you had, but these will be re-built in the fullness of time.
