# Deleting a room

Room deletion is **permanent** — there is no recovery once a room is deleted. This article explains who can delete, how it works (single + bulk), and what's affected.

## Who can delete

Deleting a room requires being an org member with the right combination of org and room role:

- **Org role**: **Admin** can delete any room in the workspace, regardless of room role. **Pro** and **Basic** can only delete rooms where they also have a delete-capable room role.
- **Room role**: **Owner**. Editors and Viewers cannot delete a room they're a member of.

(External participants — sometimes called "buyers" — are not org members and have no delete capability.)

## Before deleting, consider the alternative

Deletion is irreversible. If you only want to take the room out of your active pipeline, **change the stage** to a closed/archived value instead — see [Changing a room's stage](→ 02-rooms/12-managing-rooms/01-changing-stage). The room and all its data stay in your workspace; it just leaves your active filters.

Use deletion when:
- The room contains data you don't want to retain
- You're cleaning up test or mistakenly created rooms
- Legal / compliance reasons require purging

## Delete a single room

1. Open the room.
2. Open the room menu in the **top left**.
3. Select **Delete room**.
4. Confirm in the dialog.

## Delete several rooms at once

From the **Rooms** list (org-level dashboard):

1. Tick the checkbox next to each room you want to delete.
2. The action bar appears at the bottom showing **N selected**.
3. Click **Remove**.
4. Confirm.

> Note: in the bulk action bar, the action is labelled **Remove** rather than *Delete* — same effect, the rooms are deleted permanently.

## What deletion removes

- All sections and widgets
- All comments, messages, mentions
- All tasks (assigned and completed)
- Activity history within the room
- Participant access (immediate)
- The link between the room and any CRM record (the CRM record itself is **not** deleted, just unlinked)

## What deletion doesn't affect

- **Signed documents** — kept in the Signatures area independently, for legal retention
- **Templates** created from this room — those are separate copies and remain
- **Other rooms** that used the same library assets
- **Workspace audit logs** — retained per our compliance policy
