{{<note>}} Once a subscription is deleted, it cannot be recovered. We recommend [backing up your data]({{< relref "/operate/rc/databases/back-up-data.md" >}}) before removing databases or subscriptions. {{</note>}}
To delete a subscription:
[Delete all databases]({{< relref "/operate/rc/databases/delete-database.md" >}}) from the subscription.
The number of databases for the subscription is shown in the subscription list. You cannot delete a subscription until there are zero databases in the subscription.
