Deleting an Organization
There are some circumstances where an organization needs to be deleted, typically to remove a defunct account or an org that was created on accident.
This article walks through requirements and steps to delete an organization from Dashboard.
Requirements
Before an organization can be deleted, it must meet the following list of requirements:
- Organizations can only be deleted by a full-access organization administrator.
- Other than the one administrator, there are no other administrators in the organization (under Organization > Configure > Administrators).
- One organization administrator must remove all other administrators.
This includes disabling SAML authentication if it is enabled.
- There are no devices left in the organization.
- All devices must be removed from networks, and then removed from the organization's inventory.
- There are no networks left in the organization.
- All networks and configuration templates must be deleted from the organization.
- There are no devices managed under Systems Manager and no Google Domain binding exists.
- All devices must be removed from any Systems Manager network(s) within the organization.
- Google domain binding for android enterprise must be removed (Organization > Configure > MDM).
Please note that, because networks with billing enabled cannot be deleted, organizations containing these networks cannot be deleted.
- There are no licenses active in the organization (under Organization > Configure > License info).
- If all the licenses have either co-terminated or individually expired, they are considered inactive.
- Please reference our documentation for more information on removing or moving licenses under the co-termination licensing model and moving licenses under the per-device licensing model.
Deleting an organization is non-reversible. The requirements listed above are to ensure nothing important is lost by deleting the organization.
