Data export options before deletion. **Deleting your account will permanently remove your account and all associated data. This action cannot be undone.** You can delete your Granola account and associated data directly from the app by following these steps: 1. Open the Granola app and go to **Settings**. 2. Click **Profile** in the sidebar (under Preferences), then scroll down to find the **Delete Account** button. 3. Click on **Delete Account** to proceed with the removal image.png If you don't have access to the desktop app, you can [log in on the web](https://notes.granola.ai/settings/delete-your-account) to delete your account. If you're still unable to access your account, please email us at [hey@granola.so](mailto:hey@granola.so "mailto:hey@granola.so") from the account you'd like deleted, and our team will assist you. # What happens to your notes and folders? * **Notes you transferred to another account:** Notes you have already [transferred to another account](/help-center/transfer-notes-between-accounts) **do not** get deleted. They now belong to that account and stay with it. * **Your notes in folders with other members:** If you created folders that have other members, the **folder itself** (the container) may remain so that other members can still use it. However, **all notes you owned** that were in those folders **are permanently deleted** when you delete your account. Only the folder structure remains; your content in it does not. * **Your private folders and notes:** Your private folders and all notes you own are permanently removed. Anything that was only in your account and not transferred is deleted and cannot be recovered. # What happens to your calendar connection? Deleting your Granola account removes Granola's access to your connected calendar (Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook). If you'd like to verify this or manually revoke access yourself, you can do so from your calendar provider's settings: * **Google Calendar:** Go to your [Google account permissions](https://myaccount.google.com/permissions) and remove Granola from the list of apps with access. * **Microsoft / Outlook:** Go to your [Microsoft account app permissions](https://account.live.com/consent/Manage) and remove Granola from the list of apps with access. # Returning to Granola after deletion If you want to use Granola again after deleting your account, you can sign in with the same email address to create a new account. Your previous data cannot be recovered, but you are not locked out of the service.
