Delete a workspace

You can permanently delete a workspace you own. This removes the workspace along with its data, so Acme asks you to confirm carefully before it happens.

Who can delete a workspace

Deleting a workspace is available only when all of the following are true:

You are the organization owner.
The workspace is one you own.
Your organization has more than one workspace.

If any of these isn’t met, you won’t see the delete option. In particular, you can’t delete your organization’s only workspace — to close everything down, you delete the whole organization instead (see Deleting a whole organization below).

Where to delete a workspace

Sign in to Acme.
Switch to the workspace you want to delete, so it’s your active workspace. See Switch workspaces.
Go to Settings → Workspace.
Scroll to the Danger Zone and select Delete Workspace.

Confirm the deletion

Deletion uses a two-step confirmation so it can’t happen by accident.

Select Delete Workspace in the Danger Zone.
Read the consequences listed in the dialog:
- All team members will lose access to this workspace.
- All projects and data will be permanently deleted.
- All workspace settings and integrations will be removed.
If you’re deleting the workspace you’re currently in, choose another workspace under Switch to Workspace — this is where you’ll be moved after deletion (see below).
Select Continue.
In the confirmation field, type the workspace name exactly as shown.
Select Delete Workspace.

Once it’s done, a confirmation appears and you’re taken back to your dashboard.

What happens to data and members

When a workspace is deleted:

Its projects and data are permanently removed.
Its settings and integrations are removed.
Members lose access to that workspace. If a member belonged only to the deleted workspace and has no other workspace in the organization, they’re removed from the organization as well. Members who belong to other workspaces keep those.

What happens to your active workspace

If you delete the workspace that’s currently active, Acme needs somewhere to put you afterward. That’s why the dialog asks you to pick a Switch to Workspace before continuing — your active workspace is repointed to the one you selected, and you land there once the deletion finishes.

If you delete a workspace that isn’t your active one, your active workspace doesn’t change.

Deleting a whole organization

Deleting a workspace is not the same as deleting your organization:

Delete a workspace removes one workspace while the organization and its other workspaces continue to exist.
Delete the organization schedules the entire organization — every workspace, all data, and your account — for permanent deletion. That’s handled separately under Settings → Organization and is the only way to remove your last remaining workspace. See Delete your account.
