Deleting a team workspace is permanent. Every game, project, playtest, sell sheet, contact, and pitch in the team is removed. The subscription is cancelled. All members lose access immediately.

This page walks through it carefully. If you're not 100% sure you want to delete, consider one of the alternatives at the bottom of this page first.

What this page helps you do

Decide whether deleting is actually what you want.
Understand what's permanently lost.
Complete the deletion.

Before you start

Only the team's Owner can delete it. Admins cannot.
This is irreversible. Boardssey does not keep backups of deleted team data beyond a short grace period for our own operational reasons.
Consider downloading anything you want to keep first (sell sheet PDFs, key art, contacts list).

Three alternatives to consider first

Most people who reach for "delete team" actually want one of these instead:

Cancel the subscription but keep the data. Your subscription ends, the workspace drops to a read-only state, but games and other content stay in place. You can re-subscribe later. See Update or cancel your subscription.
Transfer ownership to someone else. The team continues under their care while you step back. See Transferring ownership.
Remove just yourself. If the issue is you don't want to be in the team anymore, transfer ownership and then have the new Owner remove you. The team keeps going without you.

If none of those fit, deletion is the right move.

Open team settings

In the sidebar, click your team name (bottom-left), then Settings. Make sure the General tab is selected (URL ends in /home/settings#general).

Scroll to the Danger zone at the bottom.

Click Delete team

Boardssey will warn you about what's about to happen and ask you to type the team's name (or DELETE) to confirm. This is on purpose, accidental deletion of a year of work is something we very much want to prevent.

You'll likely also be asked for your password and a current MFA code (if MFA is on).

Click Delete team to confirm.

What gets deleted

Everything that lived in the team:

Every game and its components, media, rules, notes, versions, expansions, and permissions.
Every project, board, task, comment, and calendar entry.
Every playtest, feedback form, and feedback response.
Every sell sheet.
Every pitch and pitch history.
Every contact.
The public catalog URL and any embed codes pointing at it.
The team's subscription (cancelled and not refunded for the unused period, see "Refunds" below).
All member relationships.

External playtesters and publishers who had links to your shared forms or public catalog will get a "not found" page if they visit those URLs after deletion.

What's not affected

Things that don't get deleted:

Your personal account. You can still sign in, just not into this team.
Other team workspaces you're a member of.
Past invoices that were already paid; those exist in Stripe's records and are accessible from the Billing Portal until ownership records expire.
Other members' personal accounts: they're still Boardssey users, just without access to this team.

Refunds

We don't issue automatic refunds for unused time on the cancelled subscription. For special circumstances (you cancelled accidentally, the team had paid annual days from now), reach out via the in-app chat bubble or email and we'll review case-by-case.

Tips & common questions

Can I export all my games' data first? There's no one-click team-wide export today. The closest options: download sell sheet PDFs from each game; export each game's media manually; copy rules and notes by hand; export your Contacts list (see Contacts overview). We're tracking a full team-data export feature on the roadmap.

Can I delete a team and keep my subscription for a different team? Yes. The subscription belongs to the team, not to your personal account. Deleting one team doesn't affect any other team you own.

What if I'm an Admin, not an Owner, and I want to delete? You can't. Ask the Owner. If the Owner is unreachable, see Transferring ownership for the Owner-recovery path; once you're Owner, you can delete.

I deleted a team accidentally. Reach out via the in-app chat bubble or email immediately. We may be able to restore from operational backups if you contact us within a short window, no guarantees, but the sooner you reach out, the better the odds.

Will my external playtesters or publishers be notified? No automatic notification goes out. If you've shared catalog or feedback-form links externally, send them a heads-up yourself before deleting if you want them to know.
