+
+Your Docker Hub account or organization may also be linked to other Docker products and services, so deactivating it will also disable access to those products and services.
+
+## Deactivating an account
+
+Before deactivating your Docker Hub account, please complete the following:
+
+1. Download any images and tags you want to keep:
+   `docker pull -a <image>:<tag>`.
+
+3. If you have an active subscription, downgrade it to the **free** plan.
+
+      In Docker Hub, navigate to **_Your Account_** > **Account Settings** > **Billing**.
+
+4. If you have an enterprise license, download the key.
+
+      In Docker Hub, navigate to **_Your Account_** > **Accounts Settings** > **Licenses**. The download link will no longer be available after your account is disabled.
+
+5. If you belong to any organizations, remove your account from all of them.
+
+6. If you are the sole owner of any organization, either add someone to the **owners** team and then remove yourself from the organization, or deactivate the organization as well.
+
+7. Unlink your [Github and Bitbucket accounts](https://docs.docker.com/docker-hub/builds/link-source/#unlink-a-github-user-account).
+
+Once you have completed all the steps above, you may deactivate your account. On Docker Hub, go to **_Your Account_** > **Accounts Settings** > **Deactivate Account**.
+
+> This cannot be undone! Be sure you've gathered all the data you need from your account before deactivating it.
+
+
+## Deactivating an organization
