Delete an Atlas Account

On this page

To delete your Atlas account, you must ensure that you have no:

This document walks you through deleting your Atlas account.

Delete All Projects

Prerequisites

To delete a project for an organization:

  • 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 Invoices.

Terminate All Clusters

Warning

Terminating a cluster also deletes any backup snapshots for that cluster. See Snapshot Schedule.

To terminate an Atlas cluster:

1

Navigate to the Clusters page for your project.

  1. If it is not already displayed, select the organization that contains your desired project from the office icon Organizations menu in the navigation bar.

  3. If the Clusters page is not already displayed, click Clusters in the sidebar.

Click ellipsis icon next to the cluster you want to terminate.

Atlas executes the terminate operation after completing any in-progress deployment changes.

Email Atlas Support to Finalize Deletion Process

Important

Once you delete all active clusters, projects, and organizations, you will no longer be billed for any Atlas activity and will no longer receive Atlas alerts.

To finalize the deletion process, send an email with the subject line Request for Atlas Account Deletion to the Atlas support team at: cloud-account-support@mongodb.com.

For security purposes, you must send the email from the same email address associated with the Atlas account you want to delete.

Important

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