# Delete a Workspace

> Permanently delete a Rolodex workspace and all of its data from workspace settings. A step-by-step guide to the self-serve deletion flow, who can run it, and what gets removed.

Workspace admins can delete a Rolodex workspace themselves, straight from workspace settings—no need to contact support.

<Warning>
  Deleting a workspace is permanent and immediate. Every contact, company, note, task, and setting in the workspace is removed for **all members**, not just for you. There is no trash, no recovery window, and no way to undo it.
</Warning>

## Before you delete

* **Only admins can do this.** The Danger zone is hidden for members who aren't workspace admins. If you don't see it, ask an admin to run the deletion.
* **Export anything you want to keep.** Head to **Settings → Export** first and pull down your contacts and companies. Once the workspace is gone, so is the data.
* **Billing doesn't block deletion.** An active subscription or trial won't stop you—you can delete the workspace at any time.

## How to delete a workspace

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open workspace settings">
    Click your workspace name at the top of the left sidebar, then select **Settings**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Go to &#x22;General&#x22; under Workspace">
    Settings opens on your personal **Profile** page. In the settings sidebar, find the **Workspace** section and click **General**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Scroll to the &#x22;Danger zone&#x22;">
    At the bottom of the General page, below the workspace name and URL, you'll find the **Danger zone** and a red **Delete workspace** button.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm by typing the workspace name">
    A confirmation dialog opens listing exactly what will be deleted. To prevent accidental clicks, the **Delete workspace** button stays disabled until you type the workspace name exactly as it appears.

    Once the name matches, the button turns red and becomes clickable.

    <Note>
      Changed your mind? Click **Cancel** or the **X** to close the dialog. Nothing is deleted until you click **Delete workspace**.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Delete">
    Click **Delete workspace**. The button shows a loading state while the workspace is removed, then Rolodex reloads and drops you into another workspace you belong to.

    The deleted workspace no longer appears in your workspace switcher.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What gets deleted

Everything that lived in the workspace, for every member:

* Contacts and companies
* Notes and tasks
* Lists, boards, and tags
* Custom fields and workspace settings
* The workspace URL

<Tip>
  Want to step away from a workspace without wiping it for everyone else? Leave the workspace or have an admin remove you from **Settings → Team** instead of deleting it.
