Terminate an Entity

If you no longer need an Account or Organization, you can terminate the entity.

Before you terminate an Account or Organization entity

We recommend taking the following steps to clean up any infrastructure and third-party dependencies associated with the entity you wish to terminate in Frame Console:

  • Reduce the Default Capacity max value to 0 for all Accounts you wish to terminate or all Accounts associated with an Organization you wish to terminate.

  • Delete any Sandbox/Utility server backups.

  • Delete any Enterprise Profile/Personal Drives and their backups.

  • If Frame accounts were created using Frame-managed networking, customers using BYO infrastructure should delete any cloud resources (such as a VPN Gateway, a VPC/VNET peer, manually created and attached volumes, or manually created VMs) associated with the Frame Account VPCs/VNETs from their BYO infrastructure console before terminating their Frame Account/Organization entity.

  • Remove any identity providers registered on the Account or Organization entity to be terminated.

  • Remove any BYO infrastructure registered on the Organization entity you wish to terminate (after all Accounts in that Organization are terminated).
