Deleting a person is a PERMANENT action that results in the removal of all data and documents for this person. It isn't possible to "undo" this action, nor is it possible to recover the deleted data. It truly is permanent, so use this feature with caution. If a person leaves your organization, consider terminating a person's employment instead of deleting them.

To delete a person:

Note: Only Company Admins and HR Admins can delete people from Built. To learn more, refer to: Understanding User Roles & Permissions.

  1. From the main menu, navigate to the People page.

  2. Check the box next to the person's name.

  3. Click the dropdown in the upper left corner of the list of people, then click Delete.

  4. Click the Delete button to confirm this action.
