How to delete a workspace in Expensify

Only the billing owner of a paid workspace can delete it. This article explains the steps to delete a workspace, when deletion may be blocked, and what happens after it’s deleted.

Who can delete a workspace in Expensify

Only the billing owner can delete a paid workspace.

• Workspace Admins cannot delete the workspace unless they take over billing ownership first
• If you don’t see the option to delete, confirm whether you’re the billing owner

When workspace deletion is blocked

A workspace cannot be deleted if:

• It is on an active annual subscription without early cancellation approval
• There is a failed or pending payment
• You are not the billing owner

To resolve this:

• Submit an early cancellation request if on an annual plan
• Update the payment method if billing has failed
• Transfer billing ownership if needed

What happens when a workspace is deleted

• The workspace is permanently removed, including its settings and members
• Billing stops after the final usage period is completed
• Deletion does not delete your Expensify account or historical expenses

If you own multiple workspaces, deleting one does not affect the others.
