# Delete Your Data

Take things out of use whenever you like, and bring them back if you change your mind.
Most items go through the same steps: archive, then trash, then permanent deletion.

| Step | What happens | Can you undo it? |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Archive | Hidden from active lists. An archived form stops taking submissions | Yes |
| Trash | Set aside and out of use until you restore it | Yes |
| Delete permanently | Gone. You confirm by typing its name | No |

## Forms

Open the form's settings. A form can be deleted permanently from the trash, once it has no
submissions.

## Recipients, Senders, And Domains

Use the actions on each row. See [Recipients And Senders](/guides/recipients-and-senders/) and
[Custom Domains](/guides/custom-domains/). Permanent deletion needs forms to stop using the item
first.

## Workspaces

Owners and admins can archive or trash a workspace from its settings. A workspace can be
deleted permanently once it's in the trash and empty.

## Submissions

The app can't delete a submission yet. To have submissions removed, write to
[hello@formerie.com](mailto:hello@formerie.com), and we'll handle the request by hand.
Until then, a form with submissions stays in the trash instead of being deleted.

Nothing is deleted automatically. Plans list retention periods, but they aren't applied
today. See the [privacy policy](https://formerie.com/privacy/).

## Your Account

1. Open **Settings**, then **Account**, and choose **Delete account**.
2. Resolve anything listed. You can't close your account while you're the only owner of a
   team workspace, or while your personal workspace has published forms.
3. Type your account email to confirm.

You're signed out everywhere, your sign-in methods are removed, your name and email are
replaced, your personal workspaces move to the trash, and your team memberships end.

Submissions in those workspaces, security events, and records of accepted terms are not
erased. Emails already sent stay in the inboxes that received them.
