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.
Delete a Starter or Education team
- From the file browser, click All projects.
- Click the dropdown menu next to the team name in the toolbar.
- Select Delete... from the options.

Delete a team on the 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.
Cancel subscription
- From the file browser, click Admin settings.
- Select the Settings tab.
- In the Plan and billing section, click the Cancel plan option.

- Click Finish Cancellation to cancel the subscription. Figma will cancel the subscription and return you to the team page.
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.
