Deleting an Account

Delete an Account from your Ledger in the Console when it is no longer used — External Accounts cannot be removed and retention policies still apply.

When you delete an Account, Midaz removes it from active listings. Your deployment’s data retention and compliance policies apply. In regulated environments, your deployment can keep the record for audit, regulatory, or reporting purposes. Review your retention policy before you delete an Account.

To delete an Account, follow these steps:

1. On the Accounts page, find the Account to delete. In the Actions column, click the three dots (), then select Delete.

2. A confirmation dialog appears.

3. Click Confirm to delete the Account.

4. Midaz removes the Account from active listings. Your deployment’s data retention and compliance policies still apply.

Before deleting an Account, ensure every balance has available and onHold equal to zero and that no transaction is in progress. Otherwise, Midaz rejects the deletion.

You cannot directly delete or modify External Accounts. Midaz creates them automatically with each Asset. Deleting an Asset soft-deletes active External Accounts with the same Asset code in the same Organization and Ledger.
