Delete a Workspace in ClickUp

When you no longer need a particular Workspace in ClickUp, you can permanently remove it, along with all related data and settings. This how-to guide explains who can delete a Workspace, what is removed, and the exact steps to complete the deletion safely.

Before you delete a ClickUp Workspace

Deleting a Workspace is permanent and affects every member and guest who has access to it. Before starting, carefully review what will be removed and make sure you have saved anything important.

What is permanently deleted in ClickUp

When a Workspace is deleted, the following information is removed and cannot be recovered:

All Spaces, Folders, Lists, tasks, and subtasks
Views, Dashboards, Docs, and Whiteboards owned by the Workspace
Comments, attachments, and custom fields stored in the Workspace
Automation settings and integrations configured only for that Workspace
Workspace-level settings, including permissions and preferences

Any content hosted solely in the Workspace will be removed from active use. Make backups or exports as needed before you confirm the deletion.

Who can delete a ClickUp Workspace

Only people with the right level of access can delete a Workspace. In most cases, this is limited to owners or admins responsible for managing the account.

To delete the Workspace, you must:

Be an owner or admin of the Workspace you want to remove.
Be signed in to the correct account associated with that Workspace.
Have access to Workspace settings from the web or desktop app.

If you do not see the delete option, contact a Workspace owner or an administrator for assistance.

How to delete a ClickUp Workspace

Follow these steps carefully to delete a Workspace. Once the deletion is confirmed, it cannot be undone.

Step 1: Open the correct ClickUp Workspace

Sign in to your account from the web or desktop app.
Select the Workspace you want to delete from your Workspace switcher or account menu.
Confirm that you are in the correct Workspace by checking its name and members.

Always double-check that you selected the intended Workspace, especially if you manage several environments.

Step 2: Go to ClickUp Workspace settings

In the top-left or top-right navigation (depending on your layout), open your Workspace or avatar menu.
Choose the option that opens Settings for the active Workspace.
Locate the section where Workspace-level options and advanced actions are listed.

Only Workspace-level settings include the option to permanently delete the environment. Personal profile settings will not offer this action.

Step 3: Locate the delete Workspace option

Scroll through the Workspace settings sidebar or list until you find advanced or danger-zone options.
Look for an option labeled similarly to Delete Workspace or Delete this Workspace.
Select this option to begin the deletion process.

A confirmation screen will appear to explain what will be removed and to ensure the deletion is intentional.

Step 4: Confirm deletion in ClickUp

Read the warning message that appears on the confirmation screen.
Review the list of items that will be removed when the Workspace is deleted.
If prompted, type the Workspace name or another confirmation phrase exactly as shown.
Click the final confirmation button to permanently delete the Workspace.

After you confirm, the Workspace and its data are scheduled for permanent removal. Members and guests will lose access to the content associated with that environment.

What happens after deleting a ClickUp Workspace

Once the deletion is complete, the Workspace is no longer available in your account, and you cannot restore it from any in-app recycle bin.

Impact on members and guests

Deleting a Workspace affects everyone who had access to it:

Members and guests lose access to all tasks, Docs, and views from the deleted Workspace.
Shared links pointing to items in that Workspace will stop working.
Any custom roles or permissions defined only in that Workspace are removed.

Users can still access other Workspaces connected to their accounts, as long as those environments are not deleted.

Billing and subscription considerations

Workspace deletion may also affect billing, depending on how your subscription is configured. To avoid unexpected charges, confirm how your plan is tied to the Workspace.

If your paid plan is associated with the deleted Workspace, charges for that environment may stop after the billing cycle ends.
If you manage several environments under one subscription, deleting a single Workspace may not cancel your whole subscription.
Review your account billing page or contact support if you are unsure how deletion will affect your plan.

Billing behavior can vary, so always verify your current subscription details before making permanent changes.

Best practices before deleting ClickUp data

Because Workspace removal is permanent, it is wise to prepare ahead of time and preserve information your team may need later.

Export important items from ClickUp

Before you delete the Workspace, consider exporting or copying critical information:

Export Lists and tasks you may want to keep for reporting or compliance.
Download important Docs and attachments you need to store outside the app.
Capture screenshots or notes about complex configurations, such as Automations or custom fields.

Storing these exports safely helps you reference historical work even after the environment is removed.

Notify your team in ClickUp

Communication is important when you are about to remove an entire Workspace:

Announce the scheduled deletion date to all members and guests.
Give collaborators time to save personal notes or attachments they may need.
Clarify which other Workspaces will remain available after the deletion.

Clear communication reduces confusion and prevents the loss of information teammates expected to keep using.
