# How do I delete my SAP Business Network Standard account?

## Symptom

I need to delete my SAP Business Network Standard account. What are the steps and requirements for account deletion?

## Resolution

Before deleting your SAP Business Network Standard account, ensure that you meet the following requirements:

- You are the account administrator
- The registered email address is active
- All sub-user accounts have been deleted
- All [trading relationships have been rejected](https://support.ariba.com/item/view/106671)
- All account links under Connected Accounts have been removed

Once these requirements are met, complete the following steps:

1. Click \[user initials\] > Settings > Manage Users.
2. Click Account Deletion.
3. Select Review Associated Account and Submit Deletion Request.
4. Click Submit Deletion Request.

If all requirements are met, one of the following verification methods appears:

- If Multi-factor Authentication Required appears, enter the Time-based Verification Code and click Submit.
- If Email Authentication Required appears, check your email and click the verification link to confirm the deletion request. The verification link expires after 5 minutes.

After you submit the deletion request, you receive an email with the subject Account Expiry Notification.

After the account expires:

- No users can sign in to the account
- The account becomes unavailable for use

Before deleting the account, inform all account users and trading partners who may be affected.

If you want to use your current email address as a username in another SAP Business Network account, *change your username* before deleting the account.

Usernames must be in the format of an email address, but the email address does not need to be valid.
