How do I delete or archive a budget?
Budget owners, account admins, and card admins can archive and delete budgets from their dashboard. Affected budgets will have differentiated visibility in the dashboard and they will not accept more card transactions. Budget owners and members will receive notifications when a budget is deleted or archived.
Single budget
In your dashboard
Step 1: Go to Budgets and click on the budget you want to delete or archive.
Step 2: Under Actions, select the action you’d like to take:
Archive budget: The budget will remain visible on your admin dashboard.
Delete budget: The budget will be permanently deleted from your admin dashboard.
Note: This action only appears if there are no expenses on the budget.
Step 3: In the popup window, confirm your decision by clicking either Delete or Archive.
You can reopen an archived budget by going to Budgets, clicking on the tile for the specific budget, and choosing Reopen budget. Clarify the specifics of the budget in the popup window and click Reopen budget. Deleted budgets cannot be restored.
