# Close your account in Amazon Settings
<a name="close-account-new-experience"></a>

**Warning**  
We're currently releasing our new experience to a limited number of customers. You might not be able to access this experience yet.

If you no longer need the organization and all the projects stored in it, you can close your projects, close your management account, and delete your Amazon Builder ID.

To make sure you are no longer charged for any Amazon resources you consume, you must close your projects and close the management account for your organization, but you don't have to close your Amazon profile. Your Amazon Builder ID associated with it is free.

After you close your management account, you can reopen it within 90 days from the day you closed it. The time between the day you closed the management account and when Amazon permanently closes the management account is the post-closure period.

## What you need to know before closing your management account
<a name="delete-social-login-before"></a>

Before closing your management account, you should consider the following:
+ When you close a project, consider the considerations in [What you need to know before closing your project](close-project.md#close-project-before).
+ You must close all projects before you can close your management account.
+ You must close your management account before you delete your Amazon Builder ID.
+ After you close your management account, you can reopen it within 90 days from the day you closed it. The time between the day you closed the management account and when Amazon permanently closes the management account is the post-closure period.
+ You can reopen your account during the post-closure period.
+ You can't use the same email address that was registered to your organization at the time of its closure as the primary email of another organization. If you want to use the same email address for a different organization while using Sign up for Amazon (new), we recommend updating it before closure. For more information, see [Change your email address in Amazon Settings](change-email.md).
+ If you've enabled multi-factor authentication (MFA) on your management account and configured an MFA device, MFA isn't removed automatically when you close the management account. If you choose to leave MFA turned on during the 90 days post-closure period, keep the MFA device active until the post-closure period has expired in case you need to access the account during that time. Note, the hardware TOTP token devices cannot be associated with another user after the permanent closure of your account. If you would like to use the hardware TOTP token with another user later, you have the option to deactivate the hardware MFA device before closing the management account.
