Transfer or delete the organization on the [**Ownership & Deletion**](/go/settings/administration) page in [**Settings**](/go/settings). Only the owner sees that entry.

## Transfer ownership to a member

Use this when another member takes over the organization.

1. In **Settings**, select **Ownership & Deletion**.
2. In the **New owner** field, choose a member. The list holds every member except you.
3. Click **Transfer ownership**.
4. In the confirmation, type `TRANSFER`.
5. Click **Transfer organization**.

The new owner now owns the organization. Opening **Ownership & Deletion** again returns you to **Settings**.

> **Warning:** Once the transfer completes, you no longer have owner access. The new owner can transfer ownership back.

The new owner gets the admin role, and your role does not change. Roles are covered in [roles and permissions](/help/team/roles-and-permissions).

On [**Team**](/go/settings/team), the owner sees a crown icon on each other member's row. The crown opens a dialog, and its **Transfer ownership** button runs the same transfer.

## Delete the organization

Deleting cancels every subscription that has not ended, including metered add-ons, and then marks the organization as deleted. It also releases the organization's phone numbers, deletes its call recordings, transcripts and text history from Twilio, and revokes its Google and QuickBooks access. Billing history stays with Stripe.

1. On **Ownership & Deletion**, click **Delete organization** in the **Delete Organization** section.
2. In the **Delete Organization** dialog, type `DELETE`.
3. Type your password in **Password**.
   - With [two-factor authentication](/help/account/two-factor-authentication) on, also type the six-digit code from your authenticator app.
4. Click **Delete organization**.
   - If a cancellation fails, the organization is not deleted. Subscriptions cancelled before the failure stay cancelled.

You return to the main dashboard.

> **Note:** For an organization that gets leads from Angi, the dialog reminds you to remove the JobWise webhook in your Angi account. Until you do, Angi keeps trying to send leads.

> **Warning:** This page has no way to restore a deleted organization. Cancelling creates no immediate invoice and no proration.

## Who can use this page

- Owner: Sees **Ownership & Deletion** in **Settings** and can transfer or delete the organization.
