# Delete Workspace

Aranet Cloud workspace deletion can be initiated either by the User or by Administrator.

To initiate workspace deletion user must have Workspace *Write* permission:

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/PH2BpiL15q1Y7MLrpbhF" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Navigate to **WORSKSPACE** menu **CONFIG** tab, here you can change your workspace name at any time:

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="https://forum.aranet.com/site/assets/files/4289/image.1000x0-is.png" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Locate **DELETE WORKSPACE** button at the bottom of the window and click on it:

A warning message will appear:

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/6yfhgNyEJpuqj2PnzJ8g" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

After approval:

* Workspace becomes unavailable for login, and existing login sessions expire
* All the administrators (users with the role Administrator) (including the user who initiated the process) will receive an informative message via email that the workspace will be deleted within 5 days. The message will also contain a link that allows you to cancel this process

If no cancellation is made within 5 days, the workspace is deleted.

Workspace will be deleted immediately if:

* Workspace has status *Waiting* (the workspace has never had a license, and any Pro Bases weren't registered)&#x20;
* Workspace has a *Trial,* AND no bases are registered, and the owner is the only user of this workspace
* Workspace has *Expired* status, AND no bases are registered, and the owner is the only user of this workspace

**Aranet Cloud initiates workspace deletion when**:

* Workspace is in *Waiting* status for longer than 90 days
* Workspace is in *Expired* status for longer than 180 days

When Cloud initiates the deletion process for the workspace with *Expired* status:

* Workspace becomes unavailable for login, and existing login sessions expire
* All administrators (users with the role Administrator) receive an informative message via email that the workspace will be deleted within 5 days. The message shall also contain a link that allows cancellation of this process.

If no cancellation is made within 5 days, the workspace is deleted.

If the delete process is **cancelled**, the time countdown is started again, meaning that if the status has not changed after 90 or 180 days, the process will start again.&#x20;

Workspace with *Waiting* status is deleted immediately (without sending an e-mail) when the 90-day countdown has passed.&#x20;
