Article summary: This guide provides the step-by-step administrative process for removing an existing Business Unit from your Speakap network structure. It includes critical safety warnings regarding data preservation before final deletion.
⚠️ CRITICAL WARNING: PERMANENT DATA LOSS
Removing a Business Unit will permanently delete all nested local departments underneath it, along with every piece of content, timeline update, and file associated with them.
This structural action is completely irreversible, and the erased data cannot be recovered by administrators or support staff. We strongly recommend thoroughly auditing and backing up the content within both the Business Unit and its corresponding Local Departments before executing a removal.
Step-by-Step Deletion Process
To remove a Business Unit from your platform infrastructure, follow these administrative steps:
- Log into your company's network via your web browser.
- Click on your profile picture located in the top right corner of the screen.
- Select Organization Settings from the dropdown settings options.
- Locate the specific target Business Unit by using the integrated search field.
- Hover your mouse over the name of the Business Unit to reveal hidden controls, then click on the gear wheel icon that appears.
- Select Remove from the contextual menu options.
- A system prompt will appear on your screen asking you to confirm the deletion. Click Remove to finalize your decision. (Note: Clicking this immediately triggers the permanent, cascading deletion of the unit and its sub-departments).
A successful confirmation notification will appear momentarily in the upper right-hand corner of your browser interface to signify the completion of the removal.
