How can I delete an organisation from IBM Bluemix?

Question

In IBM Bluemix you can create and be the member of multiple Organisations. How can I remove redundant organisations?

Answer 1

Deleting an existing organization is not possible at this time. This is limited to Bluemix Public. If you are a Bluemix Dedicated (or) Local user, you can delete existing organizations.

Please see : https://www.ng.bluemix.net/docs/admin/index.html#orgsandspaces

Answer 2

I think org delete must be manually done by bluemix support team. So open a ticket to get it done.

At this doc page https://console.ng.bluemix.net/docs/admin/adminpublic.html#orgmng

It says:

Deleting an existing organization

Contact Bluemix registration and ID support to delete your organization.

Note: Deleting operations cannot be reversed. You lose all your applications and services that are associated with the organization.

Answer 3

You are able to delete organizations using the BX plug-in, also on Bluemix Public. Download and install the CF and BX plug-in using the link below https://new-console.ng.bluemix.net/docs/cli/index.html#cli

Then use these commands below in the command line:

bx login
bx iam org-delete ORG_NAME [-f --all]

Answer 4

IBM Bluemix evolved over time from a Cloud Foundry public cloud offering over having Local and Dedicated editions to what is IBM Cloud today. There is Cloud Foundry and Cloud Foundry Enterprise Edition (CFEE). CFEE gives users access to the full administrator access and hence more options.

Thus, the answer depends on the context:

• for CFEE there is a CLI command ibmcloud cfee org-delete
• for the regular (old) public Cloud Foundry it is possible to delete spaces and users, but not orgs. This can be done through the CLI commands .

There is still a Bluemix Admin plugin for Bluemix Local and Bluemix Dedicated (Cloud Foundry for those environments) that allows to delete organizations. However, it does not work on IBM Cloud with Cloud Foundry.
