Solution

Deleting a workspace

Before you proceed

Please note that if you delete the workspace, all repositories under that workspace will also be deleted. If you still need the data from that workspace please make sure to either transfer the repositories from the workspace to a different one or clone the repositories to your local machine so you have a local copy of them. ⚠️ This operation is not reversible. It's not possible to recover a deleted workspace or its repositories.  Also, the workspace ID will not be released until 30 days from the date of deletion. It is recommended to delete the workspace by renaming it to something like workspaceID_old in case the same workspace ID needs to be reused within 30 days.⚠️

Deletion steps

  1. Use one of the following methods to navigate to the workspace that you want to delete.

    1. Go to https://bitbucket.org/workspaceID, replacing workspaceID with your own.

    2. Go to Administration > All workspaces.

  2. Select the workspace to delete.

  3. From that workspace, go to Administration > Workspace settings.

    If the Workspace settings link is missing, you are not an admin of this workspace. Please get in touch with your Bitbucket admin to delete the workspace.

  4. Under Workspace settings, select Delete workspace.

  5. For the first confirmation screen, select Delete workspace.

  6. For the last confirmation screen, select Delete.
