Delete your account
How to permanently close your Buda account, what happens to your data, and how to get back in if you change your mind.
Closing your account should be deliberate and clear. This page explains exactly what deletion does, what to wrap up first, and what happens to your data — so there are no surprises.
Deletion is permanent. The moment you confirm, you're signed out everywhere and can no longer access your account.
Before you delete
Account deletion closes your user account — it does not, on its own, refund or cancel a Space's subscription. Before you go:
- Wind down any paid plans. If you own a Space with an active subscription, cancel it from Space Settings → Billing so it isn't renewed.
- Hand off shared work. If teammates rely on Spaces, agents, or files you manage, transfer ownership or make sure someone else has access.
- Save anything you need. Export or download work you want to keep — you won't be able to retrieve it afterward.
The deletion flow
Open account settings
Go to Settings from your avatar in the bottom-left corner and find the account deletion option.
Confirm by typing your email
To guard against accidental deletion, you must re-type your account email exactly. If it doesn't match, the deletion is rejected.
Confirm
Once confirmed, your account is closed immediately and all your sessions are revoked — you're signed out on every device.
Data retention
When you delete your account, Buda first deactivates it — the account is instantly and permanently inaccessible. The underlying data is then fully removed during routine cleanup that runs afterward, rather than at the exact moment you click confirm.
Note that content living at the Space level (files, Space Drive, agent work) belongs to the Space, not to your personal account. Deleting your account removes your access; handing off or deleting that content is a separate step you should take beforehand.
Reactivation
Because deletion is permanent and the account is locked out immediately, there's no self-serve way to reactivate it. If you deleted by mistake or change your mind shortly after, contact support as soon as possible — recovery may not be possible once cleanup has run.
