Deleting data in Airtable

When you delete data in Airtable, that data will remain on Airtable's services for a retention period before it's permanently deleted. During this time, it's possible to recover accidentally deleted data through functions like the trash, the undo keyboard shortcut, or by contacting Airtable support, as well as allowing you to see records of who made what changes, when. After this retention period, your data will automatically be permanently deleted.

If you'd like to permanently delete your data before the retention period, you can write in to privacy@airtable.com for further instructions.

Otherwise, you can delete accounts, bases, and workspaces yourself and they'll be permanently deleted after the retention period.
