Delete account - what happens and how to do it

Deleting your account starts a permanent removal of your personal data. Once you confirm, you are signed out everywhere and cannot sign back in. The screen offers no undo button.

What should you do before deleting?

Export any data you want to keep. Your content is deleted too.
If you are an Owner, hand the workspace to someone else, or accept that you leave it without you.
Cancel or move your subscription in billing.
Tell your team you are leaving, so they can reassign your tasks.

How do you delete your account?

Open Settings and scroll to Danger Zone, then click Delete Account.
Read the warning, then click Delete My Account.
In Confirm Account Deletion, type DELETE in capitals into the box.
Click Yes, Delete My Account. It stays disabled until the word matches.
A Request Submitted message appears. Click OK. You are signed out and taken to the sign-up page.

No password is asked. Anyone using your open session could submit the request, so sign out on shared computers.

What happens after you confirm?

You are signed out on every device at once.
Signing in with email or Google no longer works. Google sign-in shows “This account is unavailable. Please contact support.”
The screen states your account and data are permanently deleted within 30 days.
The warning lists removal from all teams and projects.

Can you undo it?

Not from the app. There is no cancel button. If you change your mind, email support@worklenz.com as soon as you can. Restoring an account is reviewed by support, and the 30 days is a limit on how long data is kept, not a guarantee that restoring is possible.

Best practices

Do the checklist before you click, because you are logged out immediately and cannot return to finish.
Use the exact capital word DELETE, as the confirmation is case-sensitive.
If you only want a break, log out instead. Deletion is not a pause.
Contact support right away if it was a mistake, since the data is purged after the retention window.
