How to delete your Trello account

No. Trello no longer has its own separate account system — Atlassian's own help article on deleting your Trello profile simply points you to "Delete your Atlassian account". Deleting removes access to every Atlassian cloud product on that email at once. If you only want out of Trello, the alternative is to leave every board and Workspace manually, clear your profile fields, and stop using it — your login will still exist. Note that Jira Align, Opsgenie, Halp and Loom accounts have separate deletion processes and are not covered.

Almost always because your account is managed by an organization — typically your employer, who verified the email domain. Atlassian states plainly that if your account is managed by your organization, you can't delete your own Atlassian account; only an organization admin can remove it. You can check this at id.atlassian.com/manage-profile under "Account preferences": if the "Delete your account" section is missing, it is managed. The other common blocker is being the primary billing or technical contact for a paid Atlassian site — Atlassian blocks deletion for those contacts, and you must transfer the role (the new contact has to log in to make themselves primary) or delete the site before deletion is allowed.

Only within 14 days. Atlassian applies a 14-day grace period during which the account appears as temporarily deactivated, and you can sign back in at id.atlassian.com and select "Cancel deletion" from the screen that appears to fully restore it. Once those 14 days elapse the account is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered — and neither can boards that were deleted because you were their only member.

You are removed from every board, but the boards themselves survive if anyone else is on them. The danger is boards where you were the only admin: Atlassian confirms such a board "won't have an admin anymore", meaning nobody can change permissions, close the board or manage members. Promote a replacement admin on each board before you delete. Boards where you were the last remaining member are deleted along with all their cards. As a safety net, on Standard and Premium Workspaces the Workspace admins automatically hold admin control over every board in the Workspace — even boards they are not a member of — so they can take over an orphaned board afterwards. On free Workspaces that safety net does not exist, and Atlassian warns that if the sole admin is unreachable and did not use a company email address, control of the board cannot be recovered at all.

No, and Atlassian says so plainly: Trello does not delete personal data from content created in Trello. If a teammate typed your name, email or phone number into a card description or a comment, that text belongs to the board and stays there after your profile is gone. The only fix is to ask someone with board access to edit or delete those specific cards and comments before or after you leave.

Only for individual subscriptions, which are cancelled when the account they are attached to is deleted. Atlassian notes deletion won't automatically cancel a Workspace subscription if other members remain — a Standard or Premium Workspace keeps billing after you go, so you need to hand off Workspace admin or cancel the plan yourself first. If you are the sole member of a paid Workspace, the subscription ends with the account. For paid Atlassian sites, cancelling pushes things out further: the site subscription terminates at the end of the current billing cycle, and Atlassian says it can only accelerate account deletion to a minimum of 15 days.

Eventually, but slowly and only partly. Trello's dormant account policy defines a dormant account as one with no activity for 2 years or more. You get an email saying the account is scheduled for deletion 60 days after that email is sent, plus a second reminder at least 3 days before deletion. Crucially, this only deletes the Trello account — Atlassian states your Atlassian account and your access to any other Atlassian apps remain unaffected. Logging in, creating or editing cards, or accessing boards and Workspaces all reset the clock.
