Deleting your account closes your login and removes you from every workspace you belong to. It happens at once, and it cannot be reversed. This is final. There is no grace period and no undo. Signing up again with the same email address creates a brand-new account – it does not bring back your old one, your memberships or your access. Getting back in means a fresh invitation from someone in the workspace. ## Before you start Delete your account only if you want to end your login everywhere. If you want out of one workspace, ask an admin to remove you instead. See [Leave a workspace](/account/leave-a-workspace). If you are the only Owner of a workspace that other people work in, you must hand it over first. The confirmation will not unlock until you have. ## How to delete your account Click your name and picture at the foot of the sidebar, then choose **Profile**. It is the last card on the **Profile** tab, below everything it would destroy. A dialog opens showing exactly what deleting would do to each workspace you belong to. Pick a new owner where one is needed, and tick the consent box for any workspace that would be deleted with you. Until all of them are answered, the confirm button stays disabled. The dialog shows your email address as a ready-to-copy string with a copy button. Paste or type it to unlock **Delete my account**. You are signed out and sent back to the sign-in screen. ## What the dialog asks you Every workspace you belong to falls into one of three cases. | Case | What the dialog shows | What you do | | ----------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Someone else can carry the workspace | Nothing. It is not listed. | Nothing. | | You are the **only Owner** and other people are in it | *You're the only owner of \[name]. Who takes it over?* with a list of candidates | Choose a new owner. | | You are the **only person** in it | A checkbox: *Delete \[name] as well. Nobody else is in it, so it cannot outlive your account* | Tick it, knowingly. All of that workspace's projects, time and invoices go with it. | If none of your workspaces need a decision, the dialog says so: nothing needs handing over, and you are removed from the workspaces you belong to. ### When nobody can take a workspace over Some workspaces have other people in them, but none who can own it. That happens when everyone else is a client contact, is deactivated, or has never signed in. The dialog says so and offers no picker. You have to fix it before you can delete: make someone an eligible owner in that workspace first. The server refuses the delete either way, so there is no way around it. ## What is erased Your identity is scrubbed: * Your **login**. You can no longer sign in. * Your **name**, including first and last name * Your **email address** * Your **profile picture**, both the uploaded one and the one from your sign-in provider * The locale, timezone and date settings detected for you * Every workspace membership you held Your name is replaced with **Deleted user** everywhere it appears. ## What is kept Time and money records are the business's records, not yours. They stay with each workspace so its books, reports and invoices still add up. All of this stays exactly where it is, credited to **Deleted user**: * Every **time entry** you tracked * Your **timesheets**, including submitted and approved weeks * **Approvals** you gave * **Invoices**, payments and expenses you touched * Tasks, comments and the **audit trail** The record that this email address already used its free trial is also kept. Deleting and signing up again does not earn another one. ## What else happens in each workspace The same clean-up runs as when a member is removed: | Thing | What happens | | -------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | | A running timer | Stopped and discarded. The elapsed time is not saved. | | An open clock-in session | Closed at that moment. | | Timesheets and timecards waiting on you to approve | Un-routed, so another approver can take them. | | Any open invitation to your email address | Revoked. | | People who reported to you | Their **Manager** field is cleared. | | Your group memberships | Removed. | The Owners and Admins of each workspace are told that you deleted your account, and who the new owner is where ownership moved. ## What anyone who tries to reach the account sees A deleted account says so. It does not fail quietly and it does not look like a mistyped address. * Anyone signing in with those credentials is told the account was deleted and that signing in again will not restore it. * Signing up again with the same email address mints a **fresh** identity. Your old memberships, rates and history are not handed back. * Being re-added to a roster by an admin does not resurrect the old account either. It creates a new one. This is deliberate. An account you asked to erase must never come back to life for whoever next claims the address. ## Example Maya Ellis is the Owner of Northwind Studio and also a member of a second workspace she set up alone. She opens **My profile**, scrolls to **Delete account** and clicks it. The dialog shows two things: 1. **Northwind Studio** – she is the only Owner and eleven other people work there. She picks Tom Whitfield as the new owner. 2. Her second workspace – nobody else is in it. She ticks the box agreeing it goes with her account. The dialog then shows her email address with a copy button. She copies it, pastes it into the field, and clicks **Delete my account**. Tom becomes the Owner of Northwind Studio. Maya's 340 tracked hours, her approvals and the invoices she sent all stay in Northwind, credited to **Deleted user**. Her second workspace is gone, along with its projects, time and invoices. She is signed out. Three months later Maya wants back into Northwind. Signing up again with the same address gives her a new, empty account. Tom sends her an invitation, and she joins as a new member. ## Common questions No. There is no undo and no grace period. Signing up again gives you a new account, not the old one. No. Time entries, timesheets, approvals and invoices stay with each workspace and are credited to Deleted user. They are the business's records. No. This is self-service only. An admin can remove you from a workspace or switch your access off, but that ends a membership, not your account. Ask an admin to remove you from that one. See [Leave a workspace](/account/leave-a-workspace). Something in the dialog is unanswered: a workspace with no new owner chosen, a consent box not ticked, or the confirmation string not matched yet. A workspace with no eligible owner has to be fixed before you can continue. No. A workspace that carries on with a new owner keeps its plan. Only a workspace you explicitly agreed to delete goes away with you. ## Related guides Ending one membership instead. Where the delete card lives. Deleting a workspace itself.
