Removing a social account takes it out of your workspace and frees up one of your plan’s social accounts. It also deletes what PublishBuddy holds for that account. Read what goes before you remove one.
The workspace owner can remove accounts. So can an admin, if the owner turned on Allow the admin to add or remove social accounts for them. Editors can’t.

​
What happens when you remove an account

You can’t undo this. Connecting the account again later doesn’t bring its posts back.
Removing the account doesn’t change anything on the network itself. PublishBuddy just stops posting there. To cut its access completely, also remove PublishBuddy in that network’s own settings for connected apps.

​
Remove an account

1

Open the account's menu

Click Accounts in the sidebar. Click the ⋯ menu next to the account and choose Remove Account.
2

Confirm

A window titled Delete Social Account asks “Are you sure you want to remove this account?” Click Remove.
You can also do it from the account’s settings. Click the account’s name on Accounts. Under Remove Social Account, click Remove Account, then Remove. This page spells out the warning: “All planned posts, analytics, and historical data will be permanently erased.”
In the list you see after logging in to a network, clicking Connected also removes that account. It doesn’t ask first.

​
Only clear its scheduled posts

Want to keep the account but wipe its plan? Use Delete All Scheduled Posts instead. The owner and admins can do this.
1

Open the account's settings

Click Accounts in the sidebar, then click the account’s name.
2

Remove the posts

Under Delete All Scheduled Posts, click Remove Posts. A window asks “Are you sure you want to delete all scheduled posts for this social account? It cannot be undone!” Click Remove.
You’ll see “Scheduled posts have been successfully removed.”
This deletes every post for the account that was set to go out at a set time or through the queue. That includes ones that already went out, so they leave your Posts list too. Posts that went out with Publish Now stay. The account itself stays connected.

​
Common problems

If the account shows Locked, it has no ⋯ menu. Locked accounts are over your plan’s limit. See I can’t add more social accounts.
Your role doesn’t allow it. Ask the workspace owner to remove the account, or to turn on Allow the admin to add or remove social accounts for you.
