+title: Account & Data Deletion
+---
+
+Segment allows you to delete specific data relating to an individual end user, all data from associated with a source, or all data within your entire workspace.
+
+## Delete individual user data
+To delete the data for an individual user from you workspace, follow the instructions on the [User Deletion and Suppression](/docs/privacy/user-deletion-and-suppression) page.
+
+## Delete data from a source
+To delete the data for an entire source, email the Customer Success team [(friends@segment.com)](mailto:friends@segment.com) to create a support ticket. In your email to Customer Success, include the following information:
+- Your workplace slug
+- The source from which you'd like to delete data
+- The time frame for the data you'd like to delete*
+
+**Due to the way Segment stores data internally, source-level deletions can only be scoped to one day in granularity. Deletion requests for smaller time frames are not supported.*
+
+> note "Deleting source data"
+> When Segment deletes your data for a particular source, the deletion is not forwarded to sources or data storage providers associated with your account: your data is only removed from Segment's S3 archive buckets. To remove your data from external sources, reach out to the individual source about their deletion practices. 
+
+## Delete your workspace data
+
+Workspace admins can delete all of the data associated with a workspace, including customer data. 
+
+**To delete all data from one workspace:**
+
+1. Sign in to the Segment app, select the workspace you'd like to delete, and click **Settings.**
+2. On the General Settings page, click the **Delete Workspace** button. 
+3. Follow the prompts on the pop-up to delete your workspace. 
+
+**To delete data from all workspaces in which you have workspace admin permissions:**
+
+1. Sign in to the Segment app. 
+2. Navigate to the [User Settings page](https://app.segment.com/settings/user). 
+3. Click the **Delete Account** button, located at the bottom of the page. 
+4. On the popup, enter your password and select **Yep, delete my account anyway!** to delete your account.
+
+After you delete your workspace or account, Segment removes all data associated with each workspace within 30 days in a process called a [complete data purge](#what-is-a-complete-data-purge). For a data purge status update, email the Customer Success team [(friends@segment.com)](mailto:friends@segment.com).
+
+If you do not delete your workspace after you stop using Segment, **your data remains in Segment's internal servers until you submit a written deletion request**.
+
+> warning "Purging data from workspaces deleted prior to March 31, 2022"
+> If you deleted your workspace prior to March 31, 2022, and would like to have data associated with your workspace purged from Segment's S3 archive buckets, email the Customer Success team [(friends@segment.com)](mailto:friends@segment.com) to create a support ticket. In your email to Customer Success, include either the slug or the ID of the workspace you'd like to have purged from internal Segment servers. 
+
+### What is a complete data purge?
+
+A complete data purge is the way Segment removes all workspace and customer data from internal servers across all product areas. To trigger a complete data purge, either [delete your workspace](#how-can-i-delete-data-from-my-workspace) or raise a support ticket with the Customer Success team by emailing [(friends@segment.com)](mailto:friends@segment.com). In your email to Customer Success, include either the slug or the ID of the workspace that you'd like to delete. Deletions related to data purges will *not* be forwarded to your connected third-party destinations or raw data destinations. 
+
+> error " "
+> Segment waits for five calendar days before beginning a complete data purge to safeguard against malicious deletion requests. If you notice your workspace or account has been maliciously deleted, reach out to [friends@segment.com](mailto:friends@segment.com) to cancel the data purge. After the five-day grace period, the deletion will be irreversible.
