How to delete a workspace

Delete a Vieolo workspace you own, restore it within 7 days, or let it be removed permanently.

To delete a Vieolo workspace, the owner opens the workspace page and clicks "Delete workspace". The workspace is not removed right away: you can restore it from your list of workspaces for 7 days, without losing any data. After 7 days, the workspace and all of its data, including every uploaded file, are deleted permanently and cannot be recovered.


Before you delete

  • Only the owner can delete a workspace. If you are a member and no longer need access, leave the workspace instead. See Manage the members of a workspace.
  • Remove the other members first. A workspace that still has active members other than the owner cannot be deleted. If someone else should keep using the workspace, transfer the ownership to them instead.
  • Save what you need. Download any documents you want to keep before the 7 days are over.
  • Workspaces in the strict auditable mode cannot be deleted. They can only be disabled. See Strict auditable mode.

Delete the workspace

  1. Open the workspace page.
  2. Click "Delete workspace".
  3. Read the confirmation and confirm.

The workspace stays in your list of workspaces, marked with the date it will be deleted permanently.


Restore a deleted workspace

  1. Open your list of workspaces.
  2. Click the deleted workspace.
  3. Confirm "Restore".

The workspace returns exactly as it was, with all of its entries, files, employees, and settings.


What happens after 7 days

The workspace and everything in it are deleted permanently: entries, files, employees, connections, products, tags, and settings. The usage of the workspace no longer counts toward your subscription.
