# Removing Accounts

> Permanently delete accounts from WhiteWhale — one at a time or in bulk.

## Remove one account

Scroll to the far right of the account row and click **Remove**. You'll have the option to provide feedback before the account is pulled out.

## Remove accounts in bulk

Select multiple accounts using the checkboxes, then click **Delete**. All selected accounts are removed at once.

<Warning>
  Deleting an account removes it and all its signal data permanently. This cannot be undone. If you want to preserve the signal history and free up a credit, [archive the account](/archiving-accounts) instead.
</Warning>

## Archive vs. delete

|                          | Archive | Delete |
| ------------------------ | ------- | ------ |
| Frees up a credit slot   | ✓       | ✓      |
| Signal history preserved | ✓       | ✗      |
| Can be reversed          | ✓       | ✗      |

When in doubt, archive. It keeps your data and achieves the same result.
