# Delete a workspace

> Delete a workspace.

<div class="g1t-endpoint"><span class="g1t-method" data-method="delete">DELETE</span><code>/workspaces/{workspace}</code></div>

Owners only, signed in as a person, and confirm must be the workspace's slug. It must hold no repositories (move them with [`transfer_repo`](/reference/api/repositories/transfer-repo/) first) and no projects, and billing must be able to settle it: no unpaid invoice, no prepaid credit left, and no usage this month still being metered; what it owes is charged to its card at once. Its members, access tokens, webhooks, integrations and workspace secrets are removed; its statements, invoices and audit log are kept. The slug is never given to another workspace; the person whose username it is may create it again.

Refused with `409` while the workspace holds repositories or projects, and with `402` while billing cannot settle it, each with a message that says what to do. See [Delete a workspace](/guides/workspaces/#delete-a-workspace).

- **Authentication:** Required. Send an [access token](/reference/api/#authentication) as `Authorization: Bearer`.
- **MCP tool:** [`delete_workspace`](/reference/mcp/), with the same inputs

## Errors

A failed request answers with one of these statuses and a body like `{"error": {"code": "not_found", "message": "Repository not found."}}`. See [errors](/reference/api/#errors).

| Status | Code | When |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 401 | `unauthenticated` | A token is required, or the one sent is not valid. |
| 403 | `forbidden` | The token is valid but not allowed to do this, such as a member-only change or an agent token outside its repository. |
| 404 | `not_found` | It does not exist, or you cannot see it. |
| 409 | `conflict` | The request conflicts with the current state. |
| 422 | `invalid` | The input is not valid. `message` says which field and why. |
