# Remove or Delete Clients

The **⋯** menu on each client row shows one removal action, depending on who owns billing and whether anyone outside your firm belongs to the workspace.

| Billing situation                                                                         | Action shown      | What happens                                                                    |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| The client owns billing                                                                   | **Remove client** | Your firm loses access. The client keeps their workspace and data.              |
| Your firm owns billing, and someone outside your firm is a member of the workspace        | **Remove client** | You transfer billing to one of those people first, then your firm loses access. |
| Your firm owns billing, and your firm's team members are the only people in the workspace | **Delete client** | The workspace and all associated data are permanently removed from Kick.        |

Anyone outside your firm counts here, whatever their workspace role. A single client-side Member is enough to turn Delete into Remove.

{% hint style="info" %}
Demo clients are the exception: neither Remove nor Delete appears in the **⋯** menu for a demo workspace.
{% endhint %}

***

### Remove a client

Use **Remove client** when the client will continue using Kick independently, or when billing can be transferred to someone outside your firm before your firm steps away.

1. Go to the **Clients** tab and find the client.
2. Click the options menu (⋯) on that row.
3. Select **Remove client**.

If your firm still owns billing, you'll be prompted to transfer billing ownership first. Only the firm Owner can complete that transfer, so a Manager who starts this path will be blocked at the transfer step.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important:** This action cannot be undone. Removing a client revokes your firm's access to their workspace.
{% endhint %}

### Delete a client

Use **Delete client** when your firm owns billing and your firm's team members are the only people in the workspace. This permanently removes the workspace and all associated data from Kick.

1. Go to the **Clients** tab and find the client.
2. Click the options menu (⋯) on that row.
3. Select **Delete client**.

{% hint style="danger" %}
This action cannot be undone. The workspace and all data are permanently deleted, including any user accounts your firm invited. Download any necessary reports or data before proceeding.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.kick.co/accountants/managing-clients/add-your-first-client/quickstart.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
