Notetaker · leaving it
Cancel Fathom and delete what it has
Cancelling the paid plan and deleting what Fathom recorded are separate steps — cancelling alone deletes nothing. Here is each one, in Fathom's own words.
Cancel the paid plan
- Individual plan: Settings, scroll to Premium Features, Downgrade to Free, then Cancel Plan. It ends at the end of the billing period and nothing more is charged; Fathom support can end it at once if you ask.
- A Team plan is cancelled by writing to Fathom’s customer success team rather than in the app.
Delete recordings and notes
- On the call’s page, hover over the three dots next to Share and click Delete Call — or, from your Home page, the three dots beside the recording and Delete Recording.
- The call’s notes go with it, and Fathom keeps no copy to bring it back.
- Companies on the Enterprise plan can have recordings deleted automatically after a set time; Fathom sets that up on request.
Good to know
Fathom’s help explains cancelling and deleting calls, but not closing the account itself. To have the whole account removed, ask Fathom’s support team.
Not covered
Fathom's help pages, read 10 November 2026, say nothing we could find about deleting the account or stopping its emails. Ask Fathom's support team rather than guess.

If a recording of you is in somebody else's account
Deleting your own account does not touch recordings other people made of meetings you were in — those belong to whoever recorded them. Ask that person to delete it, or ask Fathom to pass the request on.
Meetings without a notetaker to get rid of
Meetful writes the notes from each person's own microphone inside the meeting, so there is no bot to invite, no separate account holding your recordings, and anybody can leave themselves out of the notes.
