How to delete an agreement document from your Adobe Sign account

Last updated on 9 Jan 2023

Objective

Administrators have two options to delete an agreement from the Adobe Sign system:

Deletes agreements automatically after they reach a terminal state (completed, abandoned, or expired)
Deletion takes place after an Admin established time span

Note:

Only Privacy Admins can use GDPR tools, and they can only delete agreements that have been generated by a user in their account.

Non-Admin users that need to delete an agreement must contact their local Admin team.
Support may not delete agreements from the system
Admins do not have the authority to delete agreements that are sent from users in a different account.
Users that want to hide agreements from their view (vs deleting them) may do so under their own authority on the Manage page.

Adobe Sign UI

Sign in to your Adobe Sign Privacy Admin account.
Navigate to the Privacy interface: Account > Privacy
Search for the email address of the Sender of the agreement
- All agreement sent by the user will be returned
Scroll through the agreements that are returned and find the one you want to delete
