# Creating, canceling, and deleting your Airtable account

> [!CAUTION]
> Note
> 
> Business and Enterprise Scale plan admins can [manage their workspace plans in the admin panel](/v1/docs/users-airtable-enterprise-admin-panel).

## Creating an Airtable account

To create an Airtable account:

1. Go to [https://airtable.com/signup.](https://airtable.com/signup.)
2. Enter your email address, SSO, Google credentials, or Apple ID.
3. Click **Continue** and follow the on-screen instructions.

## Canceling your Airtable plan

Because Airtable bills per workspace rather than per account, workspace Owners need to remove the payment method from each workspace ([Team and Business plans](/docs/airtable-plans)) before deleting their accounts to ensure they aren’t billed after the workspace’s billing period ends.

To remove a payment method from your workspace:

1. Open your [Airtable account overview](https://airtable.com/account).
2. Select the workspace with the payment method you want to add, update, or remove from the "Workspace settings” section.
3. Click **Remove** from the “Payment details” section.

## What should I do before deleting my Airtable account?

If you are the only Owner of a workspace(s), you may need to [transfer ownership of the workspace(s).](/docs/transferring-ownership-in-airtable#transferring-workspace-ownership-to-another-account-in-airtable) To delete those workspaces, bases, or interfaces, you must remove all shared users from each one and then delete your account.

To delete those workspaces, bases, or interfaces, you must [remove all shared users](/docs/managing-billable-collaborators-from-your-airtable-account) from each surface and then delete your account.

2. [Transfer workspace ownership](/docs/transferring-ownership-in-airtable#transferring-workspace-ownership-to-another-user-account) to another collaborator where you are the sole owner.

**Can I delete my Airtable account via the Airtable Android app?**

No. Deleting or canceling Airtable accounts via our Android app is not available.

**What happens to my shared workspaces and bases after I delete my account?**

If your workspaces or bases are shared with other people, deleting your account will not delete those workspaces and bases.

To delete those workspaces or bases, you must [remove all shared users](/docs/managing-billable-collaborators-from-your-airtable-account#adding-and-removing-billable-workspace-collaborators) from each one and then delete your account. Alternatively, you can [share / transfer ownership of a workspace](/v1/docs/transferring-ownership-in-airtable) with another user and then remove yourself from that workspace.

**I don’t remember signing up. How do I delete my account?**

1. Open [https://airtable.com/login](https://airtable.com/login).
2. Enter the email address that you believe is associated with an Airtable account.
3. Click **Continue**.
4. Click **Forgot password?** and follow the recovery flow.
  1. After completing the recovery flow and signing in, you can [delete your account](/docs/deleting-your-airtable-account#deleting-your-airtable-account).

**Why don't I see the "Delete your Airtable user account" option in my Airtable account overview?**

If you don’t have the "Delete your Airtable user account" option in your account overview:

- Your account may be part of a Business or Enterprise Scale plan managed by admins at your organization.
  - Contact your team’s enterprise admin for additional support.
- You are the only Owner of a workspace with collaborators on a [self-serve Business plan](/docs/airtable-plans#business-plans-selfserve).
  - After [transferring workspace ownership](/docs/transferring-ownership-in-airtable#transferring-workspace-ownership-to-a-collaborator) to another collaborator, you can delete your Airtable account.
