Before You Delete

Deleting an entity is a permanent action. We recommend you:

  • Double-check that you selected the correct entity

  • Confirm the entity is no longer being used by your team

Who can do this?

  • Organization Owners and Admins.

💡 Tip: Consider exporting any important data before deletion


Delete an Entity

  1. Open the entity you want to delete from the left sidebar.

  2. Go to Entity Settings (⚙️ icon).

  3. Click Entity Information

  4. Scroll to the Danger Zone (or Delete Entity) area.

  5. Click Delete this entity.

  6. Confirm the deletion by typing the exact entity name.

✅ The entity will be removed from the left navigation once deletion is completed.

Note: All data associated with the entity, including extractions, will be permanently deleted.


If You Can’t See “Delete Entity”

  • Make sure you are an Owner or Admin

  • Confirm you are in Entity Settings (not Organization Settings)

If the option is still missing, contact support and include:

  • The entity name

  • A screenshot of the Entity Settings page
