Delete a workspace

You can permanently delete a workspace. Deletion is irreversible, so proceed with caution.

Before deletion

Confirm permissions

  • Requires the Superuser role. Staff and Member accounts can’t delete a workspace.

You don’t need to disconnect servers first—deleting the workspace removes Alpacon from every connected server, with exceptions for a server that’s offline or on an unsupported host. See What happens to your servers.

What gets deleted

Permanently removed:

  • All workspace settings
  • All users and groups
  • Server connection history
  • Metric alerts and webhooks
  • Usage history

Billing implications:

  • Charges apply for the remaining billing period
  • Monthly payments are non-refundable

What happens to your servers

Deleting a workspace also removes Alpacon from every server that’s registered to it, with the exceptions below:

  1. Every connected server’s agent is told to unregister, stop, and uninstall itself—Alpamon is removed from the host.
  2. Every server’s key is revoked, so a server that’s offline at that moment can’t reconnect once it comes back online.
  3. The workspace’s data and sign-in setup are removed.

This starts the moment you confirm the deletion, and it cannot be undone.

A server that’s offline at the moment of deletion isn’t uninstalled—there’s no connection to send the command over. Alpamon stays installed on that host, and the server is refused the next time it tries to reconnect. Uninstall Alpamon from the host yourself if you want it gone; see Remove a server.

On a host without a supported package manager, Alpamon stops running but isn’t uninstalled. Remove it from that host manually.

How to delete

  1. Click Workspace settings in the left sidebar
  2. Go to the General tab
  3. Scroll to the bottom and click Delete workspace
  4. In the confirmation dialog, type the workspace name exactly to enable deletion, then confirm
  5. The workspace is permanently deleted, along with its server records

After deletion

After deleting the workspace:

  • Redirected to another workspace if you belong to one
  • Redirected to workspace creation page if you don’t
  • The deleted workspace URL can be reused
  • Servers that were connected and reachable no longer have Alpacon installed—a server that was offline, or on an unsupported host, is an exception. Reinstall the agent and register them into another workspace if you want to manage them again

Alternatives

Instead of deletion, consider:

Temporary suspension:

  • Disconnect all servers
  • Remove all members
  • Downgrade to Free plan (see Plans & billing)

Transfer ownership:

  • Transfer admin rights to another superuser
  • Leave the workspace

FAQ

Q: Who can delete a workspace? A: Only a user with the Superuser role. Staff and Member accounts can’t.

Q: What happens to my servers when I delete the workspace? A: Removal starts right away—each reachable agent is told to unregister, stop, and uninstall itself, and every server’s key is revoked. A server that’s offline at that moment, or on an unsupported host, keeps Alpamon installed until you remove it yourself. See What happens to your servers.

Q: I deleted a workspace by mistake—can I get it back? A: No. Deletion starts as soon as you confirm it and can’t be undone. To use those servers again, reinstall the agent on each one and register them into another workspace.

Q: Why is Alpacon still installed on a server after I deleted the workspace? A: That server was offline at the moment of deletion, so it was never told to uninstall itself. It’s refused the next time it tries to reconnect. Remove Alpacon from the host manually if you want it gone.

Q: Does deletion stop billing immediately? A: You’re charged for the already paid period. Billing stops from the next cycle.

Q: Can I create a new workspace with the same URL? A: Yes. Deleted workspace URLs can be reused.
