  Delete a team to remove the team, including any files and projects within it, for all team members. If you have paid plans, you need to cancel your subscription before you cancel the team.

  If you want to keep any files or projects within the team, we recommend you move these files before you delete your team. You can move files to your drafts or move projects to another team. 

  When you delete the team, Figma will:

  • Remove the team for all team members
  • Permanently delete any projects (these can't be recovered)
  • Send any files to the deleted tab of your account
  • Send an email to confirm the team was deleted

  Warning: Deleting a team will remove team files and projects for all team members. The team owner, or an admin of the team has 28 days to restore the deleted team before Figma will permanently delete files and projects.

  Professional plan

  You will need to cancel your subscription before you can delete the team. You will still have access to all your files, projects, and team libraries for the remainder of your subscription period.

  When your subscription period ends, Figma will downgrade your team to a Starter team. There are some limitations around how many resources you can create and what features you can access. Learn more about the Starter plan →

  If you have reached the project, file, or page limit, you won't be able to create any more of those resources.  Files will be locked until you reduce your usage, or upgrade to a paid plan. 

  We recommend moving or exporting your files and projects before cancelling your subscription.

  Note: You'll still have access to all your files, projects, and team libraries until your subscription ends and the team is downgraded to a Starter team. You can delete a team at any time after you cancel your subscription.

  Organization plan

  Caution: When you delete a team in an organization, Figma will delete the team, as well as all files and projects in that team. This applies for all collaborators, not only you.

• Restore a deleted team

  Before you start

  Who can use this feature

  Supported on all teams and plans

  Only the owner or an admin of the deleted team can restore it.

  Figma will send you an email confirmation when you delete a team. This email includes a link which you can use to restore the team and any files or projects within it.

  A week before the link is due to expire, Figma will send you another reminder.

  You can restore the team, which will reinstate the team and any files or projects within in. You'll be able to access the team in the file browser.

  Anyone who was a member of the team, or had a role on a specific file, will gain access to those resources again.

  Caution: The owner or admin of a team will have 28 days from deletion to restore the deleted team. Once the 28 days has passed, the team's files and projects will be permanently deleted. This action cannot be undone.

  Tip! It's common for people to delete a duplicate team with the same or similar name as their existing team. You will only get reminders for deleted teams.

  If you can still see your team in the file browser, the reminder will be related to a duplicate team you previously deleted.

  Restore the team

  This process will restore the team for all collaborators.

  1. Open the confirmation email and click the Restore team button.
  2. Click Restore team to confirm.
  3. Figma will restore your team immediately and take you to the team page.

  Note: If the link has expired, you'll see a message that your team cannot be restored. At this point, files and projects for that team have been permanently deleted. This action can't be undone.
