Delete Organization

In case you have set up an organization account, and want to change your account to a personal account, or want to join another organization's account, you have to delete the current organization in which you have Super Admin role, before joining the other organization.

The three major steps before deleting an organization are

Removing users
Deleting domains
Canceling any paid subscriptions you are part of. Refer here for instructions to cancel Zoho Mail Subscriptions.

Note:

Ensure that you have backup of all the data before you begin deleting the organization as the data can't be recovered once the organization has been deleted.

Steps to Remove users

As the first step, you should remove all the users (except yourself) listed under your current organization.

Login to Zoho Mail Control Panel as an Administrator.
Navigate to Users on the left pane.
Select all the users (except yourself) and click the Delete option.

You need to remove all the domains mapped under your organization before you delete the organization.

Login to Zoho Mail Control Panel as an Administrator
Navigate to Domains on the left pane.
Hover over the domain which you wish to delete and click the Delete icon to delete your domain. All the domain-based aliases and email addresses associated with the deleted domain will be removed automatically from your account.

The domains registered through Zoho can also be deleted from the Domains section. If you are unsure of the process, we recommend getting in touch with support@zohomail.comto remove such domains.
