Cancel Sembly and delete what it has

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

From Sembly AI's own help pagesRead on 10 November 2026

Cancel the paid plan

  1. Gear icon at the bottom left → Settings → General → Billing → Manage → Cancel Subscription → Continue Cancelation. On Pro, MAX or Enterprise, remove every other member of the workspace first.
  2. Cancel a 7-day trial the same way, or it turns into a paid plan. After the paid period the account drops to the free plan.
  3. Cancelling does not stop the notetaker: it keeps going to meetings while your calendar is connected. Disconnect it under Settings → Notes → My Calendars.

Delete the account

  1. Sign in to the right Sembly — US or EU — then your avatar → Settings → General → My Profile, scroll down, Delete account, give a reason, Next, and Delete account and data.
  2. In a workspace you can instead choose to hand your meetings to another member before your account goes; if you skip that, they are deleted for good.
  3. To delete the whole workspace on a team plan, delete every other member (delete, not deactivate), then your own account.

Good to know

You do not have to delete anything just to stop Sembly joining: disconnecting the calendar, or the stop-joining settings, are enough.

Not covered

Sembly AI's help pages, read 10 November 2026, say nothing we could find about deleting single recordings or stopping its emails. Ask Sembly AI'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 Sembly AI 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.
