Deleting your fsckmsft account is permanent and cannot be undone after the 30-day grace period. Before you proceed, make sure you’ve exported any data you want to keep and transferred ownership of shared resources.
Account deletion is irreversible after the 30-day grace period. Once the grace period expires, all your data is permanently purged from our systems and cannot be recovered under any circumstances.

​
What happens when you request deletion

When you submit a deletion request, fsckmsft begins a soft-delete process:
  1. Your account is immediately deactivated — you cannot log in or use the service.
  2. Your data is preserved for 30 days in case you change your mind.
  3. Team members in shared workspaces see you as an inactive member.
  4. After 30 days with no cancellation, your account and all associated data are permanently and irreversibly deleted.

​
What happens to your shared data

Deleting your account affects resources you own or participate in across workspaces:
Resource typeWhat happens
Projects you own (solo workspace)Deleted permanently after the grace period
Projects you own (shared workspace)Ownership is transferred to the Workspace Admin
Documents you authoredRemain in the workspace under Workspace Admin ownership
Tasks assigned to youUnassigned and remain in the project
Automation workflows you createdDisabled and transferred to Workspace Admin
Comments and activity historyAnonymised (attributed to “Deleted User”)
If you are the sole Admin of a workspace, you must either transfer Admin rights to another member or delete the workspace separately before deleting your account.

​

How to cancel deletion during the grace period

​
After permanent deletion

Once the 30-day grace period expires:
  • All personal data is permanently purged from fsckmsft’s production systems.
  • Backups containing your data are cycled out within 90 days in accordance with our backup retention policy.
  • You will receive a final email confirming that deletion is complete.
  • fsckmsft cannot recover your data after permanent deletion, even if requested.
