How to create and delete sub-site?

A site is a container of objects which can include lists, document libraries, pages and calendar etc . A site can also contain nested sites called sub sites. Sometimes the terms site and sub site are used interchangeably. They are essentially the same thing, as a sub site is just a site that lives underneath another site.

Every site has at least one page, which would be the home or landing page. Additional pages can be added to the site by users.

There are two ways to create sub site.
