**Active resources**

Ensure all running services, databases, and workloads are stopped before deletion. Active resources may continue to incur charges until fully terminated.

**Team and organisation ownership**

If you're the only owner:

- Transfer ownership to another member before deletion, or

- Delete the team/organisation entirely

If there are other owners, they can continue managing the team/organisation after you leave.

## Before deleting

**Backup your data:**

- Export any important data from databases

- Save configuration files and templates

- Download logs and metrics if needed

**Review invoices and usage:**

- Any pending invoice will have to be paid

- Any remaining usage will be billed on account deletion

Ensure there are no remaining questions regarding billing before proceeding.

**Notify team members:**

- Inform team members if you're deleting a shared team or organisation

- Give them time to back up data they need
