# How to delete your beehiiv account

If you no longer wish to use the platform, it’s easy to delete your beehiiv account.

Since every account includes at least one workspace — where you manage your [publications](https://www.beehiiv.com/support/article/14492955390871), [team members](https://www.beehiiv.com/support/article/9362967481367), billing details, and more — you’ll [need to delete](https://www.beehiiv.com/support/article/12430837307287) or [transfer ownership](https://www.beehiiv.com/support/article/31434899303447-transferring-ownership-of-a-publication-or-workspace) of all workspaces you own before you can delete your account. You will also need to [remove any custom domains](https://beehiivhelp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/28253481111703) that are connected to publications or websites in your workspace.

While deleting your account is easy, it is also irreversible. The account associated with your email will be permanently deleted, and if you wish to use beehiiv in the future, you will need to create a new account and start over.   
  
If you are on a paid plan, as an alternative to deleting your account, you always have the option to [downgrade your account to our free launch plan](https://www.beehiiv.com/support/article/13092031997847-how-to-change-your-beehiiv-plan-type-and-plan-tier#h_01JN7ES3MYKZVYDNXN3WA66ETT-how-to-downgrade-your-plan-type). This gives you the flexibility to return to beehiiv at any time, without any commitment, and without having to start over completely.
