## ⛔️ Deleting your Account

If you'd like to delete your account, please email us at [info@labstep.com](mailto:info@labstep.com) using the email address associated with your account.

Please make sure that you've exported your data before contacting us, as we won't be able to recover any data lost during the account deletion process. Additionally, account deletion is not a reversible process.

If you're an organisation Admin and would like to disable a user, temporarily or not, you can do this from the Admin dashboard.
