When you create Supabase projects through the Vercel Marketplace, complete deletion requires action on both platforms.
## Deleting projects
### Method 1: Delete from Supabase first, then clean up in Vercel
This method requires two steps - first delete in Supabase, then clean up in Vercel.
1. **Delete from Supabase Dashboard**
Go to your [project settings](https://supabase.com/dashboard/project/_/settings/general) and click **"Delete project"**. This permanently removes your database and marks it as "uninstalled" in Vercel.

2. **Clean up in Vercel**
After deleting from Supabase, clean up in Vercel:
- Navigate to your [Vercel dashboard](https://vercel.com/dashboard)
- Go to the **Storage** tab
- Click on the Supabase project (it will show as "uninstalled")

- Scroll down and find the **Settings** tab in the sidebar

- Click **Delete Database** to completely remove it

### Method 2: Delete directly from Vercel (removes from both platforms)
This method deletes the project from both Vercel and Supabase in one action.
1. **Open Vercel dashboard**
Navigate to your [Vercel dashboard](https://vercel.com/dashboard) and go to the **Storage** tab.
2. **Select your project**
Click on your Supabase project to open it.
3. **Navigate to Settings**
Find and click the **Settings** tab in the sidebar.

4. **Delete the project**
Scroll down and click **Delete Database**. This removes the project from both Vercel and Supabase simultaneously.

## Transferring projects from Vercel organizations
<Admonition type="note">
**Important:** You cannot directly "unlink" a project from a Vercel organization. Instead, you need to transfer the project to another organization.
</Admonition>
If you want to move a Vercel-linked project to a different organization:
1. **Transfer the project**
Go to your [project settings](https://supabase.com/dashboard/project/_/settings/general) and look for **"Transfer Project"**. Transfer your project to a different organization.

zoomable
/>
Note: The owner must be a member of both the source and target organizations. Transferring a Vercel-managed project will remove its linked Vercel storage from your team.
2. **Clean up in Vercel**
After transferring, the project will show as "uninstalled" in Vercel but still appear under Storage. You need to manually delete it:
- Navigate to your [Vercel dashboard](https://vercel.com/dashboard)
- Go to the **Storage** tab
- Click on the Supabase project (it will show as "uninstalled")
- Go to **Settings** and click **Delete Database**
3. **Reconnect if needed**
To reconnect the transferred project after the transfer, use the standard Vercel integration.
## Deleting the organization
<Admonition type="caution">
Delete all associated projects before deleting the organization.
</Admonition>
1. **Navigate to organization settings and delete**
Go to your [organization settings](https://supabase.com/dashboard/org/_/general) and click **"Delete organization in Vercel Marketplace"**. This opens the Vercel settings page.

2. **Uninstall integration**
Scroll down and click **Uninstall Integration** to fully remove the organization and disconnect it from Vercel.

## Important notes
- Projects created through Vercel Marketplace can be deleted from either platform (Supabase or Vercel), with cleanup required on Vercel if deleting from Supabase first.
- Deletion permanently removes all project data.
- After uninstalling the integration, non-Vercel users invited to the organization retain their access.
## Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues:
1. Verify you have necessary permissions in both platforms
2. Refresh your browser and retry
3. Ensure all projects are deleted before deleting the organization
4. [Contact support](https://supabase.com/dashboard/support/new) if problems persist
