Deleting a team

✏️ Please note that a team in Miro and your profile (your user data and email to which all your teams are attached) are not the same things. If you wish to delete your profile, check this article.

⚠️ Note that on the Enterprise plan admins are not asked to confirm the deletion and the suggestion to save backups is the last step of the process.

Deleting teams can be done by Team and Company Admins. Deleting your team results in all boards and templates being removed. To recover accidentally deleted boards, see the steps in the Trash management article. Before deleting the team, you may want to transfer your boards to other teams, save backups, or export them, and ask your team members to do the same.

To delete a team:

1. Go to your Miro profile settings (within a board, click the Settings icon next to your board name. From the Miro dashboard, click your avatar and choose Settings).
2. Click Teams from the left-side panel.
3. Click the team you wish to delete.
4. ClickTeam profile from the left-side panel.
5. Click the Delete team button.Deleting a team using Team profile
6. Confirm your choice by clicking Delete team. Note that any boards you have associated with this team will also be deleted. Team removal confirmation message

Deleting the last team on Business Plan

It is not possible to delete the last team of a Business Plan. Instead you'll see a warning message: You can’t delete the last team in your organization.

You can use the following workaround:

1. Cancel your subscription.
2. When your team expires at the end of the billing period, downgrade to Free.
3. Delete the free team.

On the Enterprise Plan, please reach out to Support for assistance.
