Delete Pipedrive Account
To delete your Pipedrive account, you have two main options: canceling your account or requesting a manual deletion. Canceling your account can be done through the standard cancellation flow, where paid accounts are scheduled for deletion within six months, and trial accounts within 30 days, according to Pipedrive's data retention policies. For immediate deletion, contact Pipedrive support to request a manual account deletion. Additionally, you can use the start-over link to delete all data in your account without closing it, but this action does not reset account settings. Only account admins can request the start-over link from Pipedrive support.
Pipedrive Delete Deal
To delete a deal in Pipedrive, ensure you have the necessary permissions, which can be granted by an account settings admin. In the pipeline view, click and hold the deal you wish to delete and drag it to the "Delete" button at the bottom of the screen. Note that deleted items can be reopened within 30 days of deletion, after which they are permanently deleted.

How to Delete a Contact in Pipedrive
Deleting a contact in Pipedrive requires administrative privileges. If you do not have these privileges, you will need to request the deletion from an admin user or ask to be made an admin. For restoring a deleted contact, if it was linked to another item like a deal or activity, you can access it through that link and choose to restore. If unable to do so, contacting Pipedrive support is recommended.
How to Delete Duplicates in Pipedrive
To manage duplicates in Pipedrive, use the Merge Duplicates feature accessible to admin users or regular users with the correct permission. This feature helps identify and merge duplicate records of people and organizations. For items not automatically identified as duplicates, a manual merging option is available through the detail view of a deal, person, or organization by selecting "More (...)" and then "Merge." When merging duplicates, you can select which item's information to prioritize in case of conflicting data. Note that once items are merged, they cannot be un-merged. For large-scale duplicate management, consider using external integrations available in the Pipedrive Marketplace, such as Dedupely, for more efficient processing.
