Updated over 2 months ago

If you’ve created an organisation by accident or you no longer need an IndyForms account, you can permanently delete an organisation from your account settings.

⚠️ Important: Deleting an organisation is permanent. All forms, records, documents, and responses in that organisation will be permanently removed and cannot be recovered without contacting support.

If you’re unsure whether deleting an organisation is the right step, feel free to reach out to support before proceeding.


Before you delete an organisation

  1. Make sure you no longer need any forms, records, or documents in the organisation

  2. Download or export any data you may want to keep

  3. Confirm there are no active public forms you still need live

  4. Check with other users or admins who may rely on the organisation

  5. Double-check that you’re deleting the correct organisation

  6. If you’re unsure at all, contact support first at [email protected]


Step-by-step: Delete an organisation

1. Go to View Account

  • Log in to IndyForms.

  • Select your profile avatar in the top-right corner.

  • Click View Account from the dropdown menu.

2. Open the Details tab

  • Make sure you’re on the Details tab.

  • Scroll down to the Delete Organisation section at the bottom of the page.

3. Read the warning and confirm

  • Carefully read the disclaimer explaining what will be permanently deleted.

  • Click Yes to confirm you want to proceed.

This step exists to make sure you understand that the action cannot be undone.

4. Type the confirmation phrase
