Delete Organizations

Learn how to delete Organizations using the Auth0 Dashboard or Management API.

When deleting an organization, the association between all users’ membership and the deleted organization will be removed, though the users themselves will not be deleted from your tenant.

Once confirmed, this operation cannot be undone.

You can delete organizations using either the Auth0 Dashboard or the Management API.

Auth0 Dashboard

To delete an organization via the Auth0 Dashboard:

1. Navigate to Auth0 Dashboard > Organizations, and select the organization you want to delete.
2. Scroll to locate the Danger Zone section, select Delete, and confirm.

Management API

Make a DELETE call to the Delete Organization endpoint. Be sure to replace the ORG_ID and MGMT_API_ACCESS_TOKEN placeholder values with your organization ID and Management API Access Token, respectively.

cURL

curl --request DELETE \
  --url 'https://{yourDomain}/api/v2/organizations/ORG_ID' \
  --header 'authorization: Bearer MGMT_API_ACCESS_TOKEN'

Find Your Auth0 Domain

If your Auth0 domain is your tenant name, your regional subdomain (unless your tenant is in the US region and was created before June 2020), plus .auth0.com. For example, if your tenant name were travel0, your Auth0 domain name would be travel0.us.auth0.com. (If your tenant were in the US and created before June 2020, then your domain name would be https://travel0.auth0.com.)

If you are using custom domains, this should be your custom domain name.

Value	Description
ORG_ID	ID of the organization you want to delete.
MGMT_API_ACCESS_TOKEN	Access Token for the Management API with the scope delete:organizations.
