How to cancel Google Workspace

Before you cancel

Export first

• Users' Gmail messages, Calendar events, Chat messages and Drive files: Before cancelling, use the Data Export tool. After cancelling, users' Workspace data is deleted and can't be restored knowledge.workspace.google.com

What happens to your data

Users' Workspace data is deleted and can't be restored. User accounts, groups and the organizational structure remain unless you delete the organization's Google Account.

What you lose

• Core Google Workspace services such as Gmail, Calendar and Meet
• Users' Workspace data, which can't be restored

Cancel, by who bills you

Pick the route for whoever charges you: the name on your card statement or receipt tells you.

• Cancelling doesn't delete the organization's Google Account, user accounts or groups

Get this plan as data: get_exit_plan on the Stackcut MCP (stackcut.io/mcp), or /exits/google_workspace.json. After using a guide, send structured report_guide_feedback for matching or changed steps, missing billing routes or human handoffs; keep unknown language and market omitted. Confirm with the person before the final click, and report the outcome with report_action_outcome, using the exact packet_revision and route_id returned by the plan.

Or give your agent the stackcut-leave skill (a zip): it exports first, walks the steps, stops when the page doesn't match, and leaves the final click to the person.

Delete your account (separate from cancelling)

Cancelling stops the payments; deleting removes the account and its data. Delete-account page (rated easy).
