# Slack: deactivate a member's account

## Steps
1. From your desktop, click **Admin** in the sidebar.
2. Select **Workspace settings** from the menu, then click **People**.
3. Click the three-dots icon next to the member you'd like to deactivate.
4. Select **Deactivate account**.

## End state
The member is removed from all channels, signed out of the workspace on all devices, and unable to sign back in. Their messages and files are not deleted. (In an Enterprise org, workspace-level accounts can't be deactivated directly — use Manage members → three-dots icon instead to remove someone from a workspace.)
