Cancel Granola and delete what it has

Cancelling the paid plan and deleting what Granola recorded are separate steps — cancelling alone deletes nothing. Here is each one, in Granola's own words.

From Granola's own help pagesRead on 10 November 2026

Cancel the paid plan

  1. Click your workspace name at the bottom left → Settings → Billing → Manage subscription, which opens Stripe’s billing page, then Cancel subscription. No app? Log in at notes.granola.ai and open Billing there.
  2. The plan runs to the end of the month you last paid for, then the workspace moves to the free Basic plan.

Delete recordings and notes

  1. Hover over a note, click the three dots, move to trash. The trash appears at the bottom of the left sidebar; from there the bin button deletes a note for good.
  2. Notes left in the trash are deleted by themselves after 30 days. The trash only shows on Mac, Windows and Android — notes deleted on an iPhone are emptied from one of those.

Delete the account

  1. Settings → Profile, scroll down, Delete my account. Without the app, log in on the web and delete it there. If your company manages the account, only its IT admin can.
  2. Every note you own goes, including your notes inside folders shared with others — only the empty folder stays for them. Notes you had transferred to another account stay with that account.
  3. Deleting removes Granola’s access to your Google or Outlook calendar.

Good to know

You can sign up again later with the same address, but nothing from the old account comes back.

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 Granola 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.
