Delete Your ClickUp Account

If you no longer need your ClickUp account, you can permanently remove your personal profile and associated data by following a few required steps. This guide explains what happens when you delete your account, how to prepare your Workspace, and how each role in ClickUp should complete the process safely.

Before you delete your ClickUp account

Deleting an account in ClickUp is permanent and cannot be undone. It affects access to your personal profile and, in some cases, Workspaces where you are the last remaining member. Review the details below before you continue.

What deletion does and does not remove in ClickUp

When you delete your account:

Your personal user profile is permanently removed.
You are removed from every Workspace where you are a member.
Any Workspace with no remaining members may be scheduled for deletion.

When you delete your account, it does not automatically:

Delete a Workspace that still has other active members.
Cancel paid subscriptions that belong to a company or other user.
Recover access to data after the deletion is complete.

Requirements to delete your ClickUp account

The steps you must complete depend on the role you hold in each Workspace. In ClickUp, the same email address can belong to multiple Workspaces, so you may have different permissions in different places.

Member: A standard user in a Workspace.
Admin: A user with advanced management permissions.
Owner: The primary controller of a Workspace.

Before deleting your account, confirm what role you have in each Workspace panel, and take the actions listed in the sections below.

How members delete a ClickUp account

If you are only a member in all Workspaces, and not an admin or owner anywhere, you can delete your ClickUp account immediately from your profile settings. Make sure you understand that you will lose access to all Workspaces tied to the email you delete.

Steps for members in ClickUp

Sign in to your ClickUp account on the web.
Open the main menu and go to your personal Profile or Settings.
Locate the section that manages your account or security settings.
Select the option to Delete account or Close account.
Read the warning message about permanent deletion.
Confirm by entering any required information, such as your password.
Submit your request to finalize deletion.

After you complete these steps, your ClickUp account will be removed and you will no longer be able to sign in with that email.

How admins handle Workspaces in ClickUp before deletion

If you are an admin in any Workspace, you need to take extra care before you delete your ClickUp account. Admins should ensure that critical settings and responsibilities are transferred so other people can continue to use the Workspace without interruption.

Admin checklist in ClickUp

Before requesting deletion of your account, an admin should:

Review Workspace settings and confirm another admin is available.
Reassign important tasks, Docs, or Spaces to teammates when needed.
Verify that billing and subscription settings are correctly managed by the Workspace owner.

Once these items are confirmed, you can follow the same account deletion steps listed for members. You will be removed from each Workspace but the Workspaces themselves will continue to exist for remaining members.

How owners prepare a ClickUp Workspace for account deletion

As a Workspace owner in ClickUp, you must decide whether to keep the Workspace active by transferring ownership, or to shut it down before you delete your personal account. Workspace ownership controls billing and top-level administrative access.

Option 1: Transfer Workspace ownership in ClickUp

If your team still needs the Workspace, transfer ownership before you delete your account:

Sign in to ClickUp and open the Workspace where you are the owner.
Go to the Workspace settings or people management area.
Identify a trusted admin or member to become the new owner.
Use the Transfer ownership option and select the new owner.
Confirm the change when prompted.

After ownership is transferred, you can safely delete your ClickUp account by following the member steps. The Workspace will remain available for the new owner and all members.

Option 2: Remove or close a Workspace in ClickUp

If you no longer want anyone to use the Workspace, review any important data first. Then:

Check whether there are any active subscriptions that need to be canceled according to the current billing terms.
Follow in-app instructions to deactivate, delete, or reduce access to the Workspace as appropriate.
Confirm that no members still rely on the Workspace.

When the Workspace has been handled according to your plan, you can continue to delete your own ClickUp account.

Step-by-step: Delete your ClickUp account

After you finish all required Workspace tasks for your role, use this general procedure to remove your account. The exact labels in the interface may vary slightly, but the flow remains similar.

Log in to your ClickUp account using the email you want to delete.
Open your personal menu and choose Settings or Profile.
Find the section related to Account, Privacy, or Security.
Select the option labeled Delete account or similar.
Carefully read the confirmation message about permanent data loss.
Enter any required confirmation, such as your password or a verification code.
Approve the deletion request to complete the process.

Once confirmed, the deletion is permanent and you will lose access to all Workspaces associated with that account.

After deleting your ClickUp account

After your account is removed, you cannot log back in or restore the same personal profile. Any Workspaces that still have other members will continue to function, but you will no longer appear as a user in those environments. If a Workspace no longer has any members, it may be subject to automated cleanup and removal.

If you need the official, most up-to-date steps and policy details, review the original documentation on the ClickUp Help Center: Delete your account article.

Best practices before deleting ClickUp access

Before you permanently close access to ClickUp, consider these best practices:

Export critical information, such as project summaries or attachments, if needed.
Inform teammates that you plan to leave shared Workspaces so they can reassign work.
Verify who will manage Workspace billing, security, and administration in your absence.
Document any processes that depend heavily on your personal permissions.

Planning ahead makes it easier for teams to continue working smoothly after your ClickUp account is deleted.
