Deleting an organization is not something you can do yourself in Groupthink. There is no delete option in Organization Settings, so to remove an organization you email our support team and we handle it for you. This keeps an accidental click from wiping out a whole team's data.

> **Heads up:** This is different from deleting your personal account. If you want to remove your own user instead, see [Delete Your Groupthink Account](/docs/delete_account).

## How to Request Deletion

1. Email [support@groupthink.com](mailto:support@groupthink.com) from the address on your Groupthink account
2. Tell us the name of the organization you want to delete
3. Confirm that you want it removed

We may follow up to confirm you have the right to delete the organization before we remove it.

## What to Include

To help us act quickly, include:

- The **organization name** as it appears in Groupthink
- The **email address** you use to sign in
- A short confirmation that you want the organization deleted

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Why can I not delete it myself?

Removing an organization affects everyone in it, so we keep it out of the interface to prevent accidental data loss. Our support team makes the change for you instead.

### Is this the same as deleting my account?

No. Deleting an organization removes a shared workspace. Deleting your account removes your personal user. For the account flow, see [Delete Your Groupthink Account](/docs/delete_account).

### Can I undo it?

Once an organization is removed, treat it as permanent. Only request deletion if you are sure.
