Understand shared records after personal account closure

Closing your sign-in does not erase the company’s shared billing and workspace history.

Updated 2026-11-11

The Delete account explanation states that shared company and billing records are retained when the sign-in and personal profile are permanently deleted. Personal account closure is therefore not a command to erase the company’s complete record history.

Before closing your account, consider which shared work other authorized members still need. Resolve active services and any access handoff through the relevant team and billing controls.

If your concern is a particular company record or personal information in a shared document, ask support about that item directly. Do not assume that archiving your account removes copies of documents, completed signatures, or billing records from every shared workflow.

The company management controls also have their own effects and eligibility checks. Leaving a company, removing it from active use, and permanently deleting an eligible empty company are distinct from closing your account. Describe the actual outcome you need before choosing a lifecycle action, then verify the corresponding result rather than treating all controls labelled remove or delete as interchangeable.
