Delete an Atlas Account

This document walks you through deleting your Atlas account.

• You must either have the Owner role for the project or have the Organization Owner role for the project’s organization.
• The project must have no outstanding invoices.
• The project must have no active clusters.

Check Project Invoices

To learn how to view your project’s invoices, see View or Download Your Current Invoices.

You cannot reuse the email address that is associated with the deleted account to create a new Atlas account.
