Delete, Recover, and Leave

Understand Runner's store, workspace, membership, and account removal boundaries before confirming.

Runner uses different confirmation flows for deleting a store, deleting a workspace, leaving a workspace, and requesting account deletion. Review the exact scope before any destructive action.

What this covers

You will know what each action removes, what confirmation it requires, and when conditional store recovery may appear.

Availability and prerequisites

You need permission for the item you are changing.
The last workspace cannot be deleted.
Store recovery is conditional. It appears only when enabled and only for stores returned under Recently deleted.
Do not treat conditional recovery as a guarantee when approving deletion.
The current global avatar and Settings menus do not expose the protected account-security page. Use account deletion only when Runner or Runner support gives you an approved entry.

Entry paths and action map

Action and entry path	Confirmation	What happens after success
Store card → More → Delete, or Settings → Store → General → Delete	Type the exact store name, then select Delete.	The store leaves the active grid; deleting the current store returns you to the workspace Stores page.
Conditional multi-select → Delete selected	Type `DELETE`, then select Delete All.	The selected stores leave the active grid after the operation succeeds.
Workspace Stores → Recently deleted → Recover project	No destructive confirmation; select Recover project.	The store returns to the active project list and its workspace resources begin preparing again.
Settings → Workspace → General → Delete Workspace	The Owner types the exact workspace name, then selects Delete.	Runner removes the workspace and switches to another available workspace.
Settings → Workspace → Members → your row → Leave	Review the named workspace dialog, then select Leave.	You lose access to its projects and Runner redirects to another available workspace or chooser.
Runner-provided account-security entry → Delete Account	Type `DELETE MY ACCOUNT`, then submit Delete Account.	Runner sends the account-deletion email for the next step.

Delete one store

Confirm the store card or Store General page belongs to the intended workspace.
Select Delete.
Read the warning about store data.
Type the exact store name.
Select the destructive Delete button.
Wait for the deletion success message and confirm the store left the active grid.

The confirmation warns that the action cannot be reversed. Although some accounts show a separate recovery feature, it can be absent or unavailable; never delete on the assumption that Recover will appear.

Recover a store when available

Return to the workspace Stores page.
Look for Recently deleted.
Match the store by name and deletion date.
Select Recover project once.
Wait for Project recovered and confirm the store returns to the active list.
Open it only after its required workspace resources become available.

If Recently deleted is absent, the feature is disabled or there is no recoverable store. The page does not promise a recovery window.

Delete a workspace

As the workspace Owner, open Settings → Workspace → General for the exact workspace.
Select Delete Workspace.
Read the permanent-removal warning.
Type the exact workspace name.
Select Delete.
Confirm Runner switches to another workspace.

The only workspace cannot be deleted. Deleting a workspace is presented as permanent and not recoverable.

Leave a workspace

Open Settings → Workspace → Members.
Find your row marked (you).
Select Leave if available.
Confirm the workspace name and select Leave in the dialog.
Confirm you are redirected away and no longer have its project access.

Leaving does not delete the workspace for its remaining members. The Owner row does not offer this Leave action on the Members page.

Request account deletion

Use the account-security entry supplied by Runner or an approved link from Runner support.
If no approved entry is available, stop and contact support; do not guess or type a direct URL.
Select Delete Account.
Type DELETE MY ACCOUNT exactly.
Submit the destructive button.
Check the account email for the deletion flow.

This request is broader than deleting one store or workspace. Review Security and sessions before continuing.

Troubleshooting

A disabled final button means the confirmation text does not match exactly or the action is still running.
A failed deletion leaves the item in its prior state; refresh before retrying.
Recovering… locks other Recover buttons until the current request finishes.
If recovery fails, the store remains deleted and Runner shows a retry message.
If Leave fails, your membership remains; verify role and workspace before retrying.
If the account deletion email is unclear, do not repeat the request; verify the signed-in email and use support guidance.
