By Impran M N
If you're closing out an n8n cloud account, whether you're switching hosting providers or just cleaning up an old test setup, it's important to back up anything you might need first, since deletion wipes your instance and its data permanently. This guide walks through the account closure process step by step.
01Export your workflows first
Before doing anything else, download copies of your active workflow configurations as JSON backups in case you need them later.
02Open your account dashboard
Sign into your n8n cloud workspace and navigate to your account settings console.
03Go to Profile Settings
Find the main profile settings panel where core account security actions live.
04Review your active instances
Check your cloud workspace capacity and confirm you're closing the correct account before proceeding.
05Locate the delete account option
Find the advanced profile management section and select the delete account control.
06Confirm the deletion
Review the warning prompt carefully, then confirm your identity to permanently delete your account and wipe its associated data.
