Before you start
Deleting a workspace is permanent. It removes the workspace and everything inside it — projects, web apps, documents, comments and replies, attachments, share links, tags, and the activity history. None of it can be restored, by you or by support.
If you only want to hand the workspace to someone else, transfer ownership instead. If you want to remove yourself but leave the workspace running, leave the workspace.
Only the workspace owner can delete a workspace.
The checklist
Deletion is deliberately gated behind three things you have to clear yourself. You will find them as a checklist on the Danger zone tab in Settings, and the delete button stays inactive until all three are done.
1. Delete all your projects. This covers everything that holds content — website and media projects, documents, web apps, and file attachments. Archived ones count too. Delete active projects from the dashboard, and archived ones from the Archive page in the sidebar.
2. Remove all your team members. Everyone except you, including anyone with a pending invitation. Remove them from the Members page. A pending invite counts, because it is a member who has not arrived yet.
3. Cancel your active subscription. Click Manage billing on the Billing page and cancel in the billing portal. Cancelling ends the plan at the end of the period you have already paid for, not straight away, so this item stays open until that date has passed.
Each item is cleared through the flow that already handles its side effects properly — deleting a project cleans up its comments and share links, the billing portal ends the subscription with Stripe, and removing a member releases their seat.
The checklist is visible to every member, so anyone can see why the workspace cannot be deleted yet. Only the owner sees a working delete button.
Why cancel the subscription first
Cancelling through the billing portal is what ends the charge, so it has to happen before you delete the workspace. That is why it is a requirement rather than something the delete does for you.
Deleting
Once the checklist is clear:
- Open Settings in the workspace sidebar.
- Open the Danger zone tab.
- Click Delete workspace.
- Type the workspace name exactly as shown to confirm.
- Click Delete forever.
Good to know
If this was your only workspace, you are taken straight to onboarding to create a new one. If you belong to other workspaces, you land in one of those instead. Deleting a workspace does not delete your Huddlekit account — your profile, sign-in, and any other workspaces you belong to are unaffected.
Guests who had share links to projects in the workspace lose access as soon as those projects are deleted.
