Delete a Workspace, Project, or Member

Remove one project, one workspace, or one member without deleting your whole account. Archive first when you are not sure, because you can restore an archive.

TL;DR: Complete a project to archive it, or click Delete Project to remove it. Archive a workspace from its menu, then delete it from Settings > Archives. Remove a member from Members, or click Leave workspace to leave. To delete your whole login, see Delete Your Taskade Account.

In this guide, you will:

• Pick the right removal for the job
• Archive or delete a project and a workspace
• Remove a member, or leave a workspace
• Learn what happens to deleted data

Choose What to Remove

Pick the smallest removal that does the job. An archive can come back. A delete cannot.

Export Before You Delete

An export is your copy of a project after the project is gone.

1. Open the project.
2. Open the three-dots project menu, then click Export.
3. Pick Markdown or CSV. Both formats export on every plan.

See Export & Backup for every format.

Complete or Delete a Project

Complete a project to move it to the archive. Delete a project to remove it.

1. In the project list, hover over the project and open its menu.
2. To archive it, click Complete. Taskade shows "Moved to archive!".
3. To remove it, click Delete Project.
4. When Taskade asks "Are you sure you want to delete" the project, accept the prompt.

To bring back a completed project, open it from the archive and click Restore. See Complete / Delete a Project.

Archive or Delete a Workspace

Archive a workspace first. You delete it from the archive, and only the Owner can do either.

┌──────────────────────────┐    ┌──────────────────────┐

└──────────────────────────┘    │  Archive workspace   │
                                └──────────────────────┘

The menu shows only the items that your role allows. An Owner sees Archive workspace but not Leave workspace.

1. Open the workspace. At the top of the screen, click the workspace name.
2. Point to More, then click Archive workspace.
3. In the Archive workspace? dialog, click Archive workspace.
4. To delete it, open Settings > Archives.
5. Next to the workspace, click Delete Workspace.
6. Type the workspace name, then click Delete.

Warning: Cancel the workspace's paid plan before you delete it. Taskade does not delete a workspace with an active subscription.

A deleted workspace loses its projects, its apps, and its billing credits. Any custom domain of the workspace stops serving. To bring an archived workspace back, open Settings > Archives and click Restore Workspace.

Remove a Member From a Workspace

A removed member loses access to the workspace and its projects.

1. Click the workspace name at the top of the screen, then click Members.
2. Next to the member, click the more icon.
3. Click Remove.
4. When Taskade asks "Are you sure you want to remove this user?", accept the prompt.

To remove a person from one shared project only, change the project share. See Share a Project.

Leave a Workspace

Leave a workspace that you no longer need. Your own account stays.

1. Click the workspace name at the top of the screen.
2. Click Leave workspace.
3. Accept the prompt. You lose access to all projects in the workspace.

An Owner cannot leave. Make another member an Owner first. See Transfer Workspace Ownership.

Delete Your Whole Account

Account deletion removes your login and each workspace that you alone own.

1. Cancel any paid plan.
2. Open your Account settings.
3. Type your email in Confirm Email, then click Delete Account twice.

The full steps, the error messages, and what happens next are in Delete Your Taskade Account.

What Happens to Your Data

Taskade removes deleted data on a schedule that the Privacy Policy sets out.

• Account information: Taskade aims to remove it within 30 days of an account deletion.
• Workspace content: Taskade keeps projects, documents, and messages until you delete them or your account.
• Backups: Copies in encrypted backups stay until those backups age out.
• Data in apps you built: You handle requests from your own app users. The app owner controls that data.

For a data access or privacy request, email support@taskade.com.

Tips

• Archive before you delete. You can restore an archived project or workspace.
• Export a project in Markdown or CSV before you delete it.
• Cancel a paid plan to stop billing and keep your account. Your account and your data stay. See the Billing FAQ.
• To start over in a clean space, create a new workspace instead of deleting the old one.
