The domains registered through Zoho can also be deleted from the Domains section. If you are unsure of the process, we recommend getting in touch with support@zohomail.com to remove such domains.
Steps to Delete Organization
Organizations which uses one of Zoho Mail's paid plan should cancel subscriptions before deleting the organization. Follow the below instructions to delete your organization:

Once verified, the Organization setup will be removed based on your selection and you will now be converted to a Zoho Mail personal user (name@zohomail.com).
Note:
- Every time you want to delete an organization associated with your account, it is mandatory to re-authenticate your session using the MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) method configured on your account for security purposes.
- If you do not have MFA configured for your account, you will be prompted to re-authenticate your session using your account password in a new tab or window, depending on your browser preference.
