## What happens when you deactivate an account
* Accounts are local to an organization; so deactivating a Zulip
account in the `foo.zulipchat.com` organization will have no effect
on any Zulip account you might have in the `bar.zulipchat.com`
organization.
* Any bots that you maintain will be disabled.
* Deactivating your account won't delete messages you've sent or files
you've shared. If permitted in your organization, delete content you'd
like to remove before deactivating your account.
* You cannot register a Zulip account using the email address of a
deactivated account in that organization. If you change your mind
about deactivating an account, an organization administrator can
[reactivate](/help/deactivate-or-reactivate-a-user#reactivate-a-user)
your account at any time.
!!! warn ""
If you are the only owner in the organization, you cannot
deactivate your account. You'll need to
[add another owner](/help/change-a-users-role) first.
