# DeregisterAccount


**Important**  
 AWS Audit Manager will no longer be open to new customers starting April 30, 2026. If you would like to use Audit Manager, sign up prior to that date. Existing customers can continue to use the service as normal. For more information, see [AWS Audit Manager availability change](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/audit-manager/latest/userguide/audit-manager-availability-change.html).

 Deregisters an account in AWS Audit Manager. 

**Note**  
Before you deregister, you can use the [UpdateSettings](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/audit-manager/latest/APIReference/API_UpdateSettings.html) API operation to set your preferred data retention policy. By default, Audit Manager retains your data. If you want to delete your data, you can use the `DeregistrationPolicy` attribute to request the deletion of your data.   
For more information about data retention, see [Data Protection](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/audit-manager/latest/userguide/data-protection.html) in the * AWS Audit Manager User Guide*.
