Delete the account

As the owner, delete the Account from the Admin Workspace's Danger zone: type its name to confirm, and everything in it is removed after the grace window.

Delete the account

In the Admin Workspace, Settings → Danger zone is the one page only the account owner can use. Deleting removes every Application, Environment, and identity after the grace window, and cancels paid billing immediately.

Delete the account
Open Settings → Danger zone from the left nav, under Advanced, and click Delete account. The Delete account dialog opens with the warning.Type the Account's exact name into the confirmation field. The dialog's Delete account button enables only then; click it.Your session ends and you are returned to the sign-in page. The Account no longer resolves; any of its Console or Workspace pages send you back to sign in.
If you don't see this

Each control on this page exists only for someone who may use it. When something described above is missing, one of these is why:

Danger zone is not under Settings. Deleting the Account requires ownership, which no role can grant; only the owner sees the entry.The page opens by URL but offers no Delete account. You are not the owner; the page says so rather than redirecting, so the reason is visible.Delete account stays disabled in the dialog. The name typed does not match the Account's name exactly.
