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.
6+
7+
## Delete individual user data
8+
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.
9+
10+
## Delete data from a source
11+
To delete the data for an entire source, email the Customer Success team [([email protected])](mailto:[email protected]) to create a support ticket. In your email to Customer Success, include the following information:
12+
- Your workplace slug
13+
- The source from which you'd like to delete data
14+
- The time frame for the data you'd like to delete*
15+
16+
**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.*
17+
18+
> note "Deleting source data"
19+
> 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.
20+
21+
## Delete your workspace data
22+
23+
Workspace admins can delete all of the data associated with a workspace, including customer data.
24+
25+
**To delete all data from one workspace:**
26+
27+
1. Sign in to the Segment app, select the workspace you'd like to delete, and click **Settings.**
28+
2. On the General Settings page, click the **Delete Workspace** button.
29+
3. Follow the prompts on the pop-up to delete your workspace.
30+
31+
**To delete data from all workspaces in which you have workspace admin permissions:**
32+
33+
1. Sign in to the Segment app.
34+
2. Navigate to the [User Settings page](https://app.segment.com/settings/user).
35+
3. Click the **Delete Account** button, located at the bottom of the page.
36+
4. On the popup, enter your password and select **Yep, delete my account anyway!** to delete your account.
37+
38+
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 [([email protected])](mailto:[email protected]).
39+
40+
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**.
41+
42+
> warning "Purging data from workspaces deleted prior to March 31, 2022"
43+
> 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 [([email protected])](mailto:[email protected]) 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.
44+
45+
### What is a complete data purge?
46+
47+
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 [([email protected])](mailto:[email protected]). 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.
48+
49+
> error " "
50+
> 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 [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) to cancel the data purge. After the five-day grace period, the deletion will be irreversible.
