# Delete an Organization

Organization (Client/Department) deletion in Manatal is a two-step process. Each of those steps can be performed on individual organizations or in bulk:

1. **[Archive an organization:](https://support.manatal.com/v1/docs/delete-an-organization#1-archiving-organizations)** Archived jobs are "hidden" from all users under an account. They can be restored or permanently deleted by an Admin through a dedicated menu in the Administration.
2. **[Permanently delete the archived organization:](https://support.manatal.com/v1/docs/delete-an-organization#2-permanently-deleting-archived-organizations)** The organization and all its associated data will be permanently removed.

**Who can archive organizations:**

- Admins can archive any organization in the database.
- Anyone can archive the organizations they own. Read more about organization ownership in [this article](https://support.manatal.com/docs/organization-ownership-team).
