# Delete your account

> What to do before deleting your TalkValue account, and how to fully remove your identity and workspace data.

Account deletion fully removes you from TalkValue. The order of operations matters because a workspace cannot exist without an Admin: leaving an unowned workspace behind blocks billing, member management, and integrations for everyone else. Work through the steps in order.

## Before you delete

If you only want to leave a single workspace and keep your TalkValue account on others, see [Leave a workspace](#leave-a-workspace-instead) instead.

To delete the account entirely:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Export anything you need to keep">
    Once deleted, you lose access to every workspace that depended on you. See [Export your data](/administration/export-your-data).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Transfer Admin ownership of workspaces">
    For every workspace where you are the **only Admin**, promote another member to Admin first; otherwise the workspace is left without billing or member control. See [Roles and permissions](/administration/workspace/roles-and-permissions).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Cancel paid subscriptions you own">
    If your account is the billing owner for a Pro workspace, cancel or transfer billing to another Admin first. See [Cancel and undo](/administration/billing/cancel-and-undo).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Leave every workspace">
    Open **Settings → General** in each workspace and use **Leave workspace**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What deletion removes

When TalkValue deletes your account:

* Your **identity record** (name, email, avatar reference) is removed.
* Your **memberships** in every remaining workspace are removed.
* Sessions across all browsers are invalidated. You're signed out everywhere.

## What deletion does not remove

Workspace data is owned by the workspace, not by you, and is retained when you leave:

* **Events, people, channels, and tags** in any workspace stay with the workspace.
* **Badges, templates, and stations** in any workspace stay with the workspace.
* **Spark digests and walls** in any workspace stay with the workspace.
* **Audit log entries** that reference your past actions remain; they're attributed to a deleted-account placeholder so the workspace's history stays intact.

If you want every trace of your activity removed from a workspace's audit log and not just your account, that's a separate full-wipe request. Note it explicitly when you contact support.

## Request deletion

Account deletion runs through support. Send an email from the account you want deleted to [support@trytalkvalue.com](mailto:support@trytalkvalue.com) with the subject line **"Delete my TalkValue account"**.

Include:

* The email address on the account.
* Confirmation that you've transferred any workspace Admin roles you needed to transfer.
* Whether you also want a **full data wipe**: audit-log removal in workspaces where you took actions.

Support replies within 1 business day to confirm and complete the deletion. Once confirmed, the deletion is **irreversible**; there is no undo window.

## Leave a workspace instead

To leave one workspace and keep your TalkValue account on others, switch to that workspace from the chip in the top-left header, open **Settings → General**, scroll to the red **Leave workspace** card, and confirm. You lose access to the workspace's data and are switched to one of your other workspaces. You can leave any workspace where you're not the only Admin; otherwise promote someone first.
