Delete ClickUp Account: What You Need to Know

Every user has the ability to delete their ClickUp account. If you’re the owner of a workspace with more than one user, you must transfer ownership to any other member of the workspace before deleting the workspace — or remove all the users from the workspace — before deleting the account. 

If, as a workspace owner, you’re using single sign-on (SSO) to let users log in to multiple applications with one set of credentials, you must disable SSO before deleting the account. Owners of a shared workspaces, will also be restricted from deleting their account until they transfer the ownership to another member of the workspace.

Please note that deleting a ClickUp account is an irreversible action which will permanently delete all data. Unlike when you delete tasks, lists, messages, etc., you will not have the option to restore your account again.
