How Do I Delete a Sub-Account in GoHighLevel?
Short answer
In Agency View, go to Sub-Accounts, open the sub-account’s 3-dot menu, choose Manage Client, then click Actions, then Delete and accept the warnings. You have 24 hours to undo it from the Sub-Accounts page, and after that the deletion is permanent.
Checked against HighLevel’s help center on . HighLevel updates its interface often, so match the labels you see on screen.
Before you delete
- Export contacts as an admin from Contacts, then download the file from Contacts, then Bulk Actions within 30 days
- Disconnect Twilio, Mailgun, Facebook, Google, and other integrations by hand
- Talk with your client first, since HighLevel makes you confirm you did and have the authority to delete
- Plan for LC Phone numbers and A2P campaigns to be deleted with no way to get them back
The sub-account’s Client Portal stops opening, and after 24 hours every contact, message, campaign, and setting in it is gone for good.
Steps
- 1In Agency View, click Sub-Accounts in the left menu

Who can delete a sub-account
Agency users need the Delete permission in the Sub-Accounts module. An agency admin can turn it on or off under Settings, then Users by editing the user and opening Roles & Permissions.
Pause it if you’re not sure
Agency admins can choose Pause Sub-Account from the same Actions menu, and HighLevel’s delete guide says a paused sub-account isn’t charged. Its workflows move to draft, clients can’t get in, and Resume Sub-account brings it back.
