If Todoist isn't the right tool for what you want to achieve, and you don't want to use it again in the future, you may choose to delete your account. Doing so will delete all of your Todoist data, and you will no longer be able to collaborate in shared projects or teams.
Warning
Export your data
If you want a copy of your data for safekeeping, you have choices depending on your needs:
- For a basic copy of your project data, export each of your projects as a CSV file. This will include all active tasks and specific attributes, like labels, dates, priorities, and comments.
- If you don't need all task attributes, use the Export to Google Sheets extension. It excludes deadlines, comments, attachments, and reminders, but it allows you to include your project's completed tasks.
- If you’re on a paid plan, download the latest backup of all your active projects and tasks. Completed tasks and archived projects aren't included.
Leave or delete your team workspace
If you attempt to delete your Todoist account while you're a member of a team workspace, you'll see a prompt to either leave or delete it. A team workspace needs at least one admin, so you'll be able to do one or the other depending on how it's set up:
You share the team workspace
If you share the team workspace with others, check if another member is an admin:
- Open the Todoist web or desktop app.
- Click the team workspace name in the sidebar.
- Click People at the top-right. You'll see a list of all the people in the team workspace.
If you're the only admin, change someone else's role to an admin. Then, leave the team workspace.
You're the sole admin of the team workspace
If you're the sole admin of the workspace, and you've never invited anyone else, delete the team workspace. This permanently removes all team data, including projects, tasks, comments, and files.
Note
Once you've left or deleted the team workspace, you can delete your account.

Once you've removed yourself from any team workspaces, and have stored your data in a safe place, it's time to delete your Todoist account:

Cancel any paid subscriptions
If you've purchased a paid plan through direct billing, it will cancel automatically after deleting the Todoist account.
If you paid for Todoist through an in-app purchase with Apple or Google, it won't cancel automatically and you may be charged for the renewal. Learn how to cancel the subscription in the App Store or Google Play store.

Request account deletion if you can’t log in
Every step above starts with logging in to your account. If you can’t log in, get in touch with us to request account deletion, and tell us which of these applies:
- You’ve lost access to the email address on the account and can’t receive the password reset email
- Someone else used your email address to create a Todoist account that you didn’t sign up for
We’ll take care of it.
Remove a Todoist calendar feed after deleting your account
If you previously subscribed to a Todoist calendar feed, deleting your account won’t remove it from your calendar app. You’ll need to remove the calendar from your calendar app separately.
To remove it from Apple Calendar on iPhone or iPad:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap Calendar.
- Tap Accounts.
- Tap the Todoist entry.
- Tap Delete Account.
For Google Calendar or Outlook, follow the steps in Remove the Todoist calendar from your calendar app.
