Delete a workspace
Deleting a workspace removes tenant access for every member and is irreversible. The path is Settings → Workspace → Delete Workspace (/workspace?tab=delete). The UI surfaces a Danger Zone section with explicit warnings—treat it like production database destruction. Use only when decommissioning a client, closing a sandbox, or canceling service entirely. Export contacts, files, invoices, and audit artifacts before confirming. Cancel or settle subscription billing so finance does not chase invoices for a deleted tenant. Run Export JSON from Security and compliance if auditors require machine-readable history. Communicate the deletion date to client stakeholders so they do not attempt logins afterward.

Who can do this
Owner only.
Before you begin
- Full data export (contacts, deals, attachments, reports)
- Invoices downloaded from Invoices
- Subscription canceled or settled
- Written client confirmation archived
What you'll accomplish
- Workspace removed from switcher
- Members cannot authenticate into the old tenant URL
Step-by-step procedure
- Export all required CRM and billing data.
- Download invoices from Settings → Billing → Invoices.
- Run Export JSON on Security Dashboard if compliance requires it.
- Open Settings → Workspace → Delete Workspace.
- Read the Danger Zone warnings carefully—there is no self-service restore.
- Complete any confirmation challenge (typing Workspace Name or equivalent).
- Confirm permanent deletion.
- Verify the workspace no longer appears in the workspace selector.
- Ask a former member to sign in—they should not reach the deleted tenant.
- Retain offline copies of exports for compliance retention periods.
Verify your work
- UI labels match product
- Primary action completes without error
- Data persists after refresh
Tips
This cannot be undone. There is no self-service restore.

Use exact labels when training users or recording videos—they match the live workspace.
| Area | Where to find it |
|---|---|
| Settings hub | /settings — card groups match this Help sidebar |
| Profile tabs | /user-profile-settings/profile — Personal, Business, Billing, Timezone, Currency |
| Workspace admin | /workspace — Settings, Modules, Resources, Delete |
| Team | /workspace/users — Members through Roles & Permissions |
Admin checklist
- Complete organization profile and billing before inviting the team.
- Enable only modules you licensed under Workspace modules.
- Connect integrations before messaging or automation go-live.
- Populate Knowledge Hub before AI Employees or voice.
- Verify Notification preferences personally after changing templates.
Verify your work (extended)
- Settings save without error toast
- A non-admin test user sees expected sidebar (no billing cards if Member)
- Related module (Contacts, Inbox, Campaigns) reflects the configuration change
- Refresh browser after role or module changes
