Delete a workspace

Delete a workspace you no longer need. It is read-only for 30 days, any owner can cancel, and then it is closed with its data kept.

Before you start

  • Only an owner can delete a workspace.
  • Deleting closes the workspace: nobody can sign in to it or open its pages, and your team's access to it ends.
  • Its records are not erased: they stay stored as described in our Privacy Policy. Sumqo support can restore the workspace or, if you ask, erase it permanently (within 30 days of a verified request).
  • Everyone keeps their Sumqo sign-in for any other workspace they belong to.
Warning: Download a full backup first (Settings → Import / Export → "Back up everything") and keep the file somewhere safe. After the grace period nobody can open the workspace any more.

Delete the workspace

  1. Go to Settings → Workspace and scroll to "Delete this workspace".
  2. If Sumqo lists things to sort out first under "Before you can delete it", follow the links and fix them.
  3. Click "Delete this workspace", type the workspace name to confirm, and optionally tell us why you are leaving.
  4. Click "Schedule deletion" and confirm it is you.

The 30-day grace period

The workspace is not closed right away. For 30 days it is read-only for everyone: you can still view and export everything, but nothing can be changed. A banner on every page shows the date it closes.

Tip: Changed your mind? Any owner can click "Cancel deletion" on the banner or in Settings → Workspace during the grace period.

After the workspace is closed

  • Nobody can sign in to it. Links you sent to customers, like invoice pages and portals, stop working and say the business is no longer on Sumqo.
  • Your remaining Sumqo subscription is cancelled.
  • Its data is kept. Write to info@vifros.com to get the workspace back, or to have it erased permanently: we complete a verified erasure request within 30 days, and an erased workspace can't be brought back.
  • Save the subscription receipt PDFs you need first: you can't open the workspace to download them.
Note: A demo workspace is different: it holds only sample data, so it is erased automatically one day after you delete it (or it expires). Your own workspace is not touched.
