# How to Remove Team Members

# How to Remove a Team Member
Remove a member from your team and free up their seat for someone else.

|| Note: Removing a team member does not reduce your seat count or change your billing. 
|| The seat remains on your plan and can be reassigned to a new member. 
|| To reduce your seat count and billing, see [How to Remove (Downgrade) a Seat.](https://help.prospeo.io/en/article/how-to-remove-downgrade-seats-from-your-plan-1osc17v/)
### Steps
1. Go to [**Team Management**](https://app.prospeo.io/team?tab=members).
2. Locate the team member you want to remove.
3. Click the **red Trash Can button** next to their name.

5. The member is immediately removed from the team. Their seat is now available to invite a new member to join your team workspace.

### Do Credits Used by a Removed Team Member Get Refunded?
Credits used by the removed member are **not** returned to the team credit pool.

**Example:** Your team is on Growth monthly with 2 seats, that means your team has a 10,000 credit limit for the whole team.
User A (team admin) uses 0 credits, and User B (member) uses 2,000 credits. Your team subscription settings will show 2,000/10,000 credits used, meaning there's 8000 credits left for the entire team to use.
As the team admin, let's say you remove User B from your team.
Your total shared credit pool still will show 8,000 credits remaining — you do not get the 2,000 credits already used by the removed team member back.
Your total monthly credit **limit** is still 10,000 because the seat still exists on your plan. 
On [Your Subscription](https://app.prospeo.io/account/subscription)[ settings](https://app.prospeo.io/account/subscription), you will see under Credit Usage that show 2000/10000 credits used for the remainder of your billing period.
You can also view a proper breakdown of how credits are spent even for removed team members under [Analytics](https://app.prospeo.io/analytics).

### Removing a Team Member vs. Removing a Seat
Removing a team member and removing a seat are **two separate actions**:
* **Removing a team member** revokes their access and frees the seat for reassignment. Your seat count, credit limit, and billing stay the same.
* **Removing (downgrading) a seat** reduces your total seat count, lowers your team credit limit immediately, and adjusts your billing at the next renewal.
If you only remove a team member without downgrading the seat, you will continue to be billed for all seats at your next renewal (even if there are idle seats on your plan).

**To both remove a member and a seat from your plan to reduce your billing:**
1. Remove the team member(s) by following the [steps above](#3-steps).
2. Then follow the steps in [How to Remove (Downgrade) a Seat From Your Plan](https://help.prospeo.io/en/article/how-to-remove-downgrade-seats-from-your-plan-1osc17v/).

### FAQs
**If I remove a team member, does my billing change?**
No. Removing a member frees up the seat but does not reduce your seat count or change your billing. To reduce billing, you must also downgrade the seat before your billing renewal. See [How to Remove (Downgrade) A Seat From Your Plan.](https://help.prospeo.io/en/article/how-to-remove-downgrade-seats-from-your-plan-1osc17v/)

**Can I reassign a removed member's seat to someone else?**
Yes. Once a member is removed, the seat is immediately available. Go to [Team Management](https://app.prospeo.io/team?tab=members) and click **Add member** to invite a new team member.

**Can a team member remove themselves?**
Yes, a team member can remove themselves from the team workspace by clicking on **Leave** from the Team dashboard. Note: If the team member is the sole admin of a workspace, they must assign the Admin role to another member before they can leave the workspace.

**Do I get back the credits that the removed member used?**
No. Credits already used by any team member are not recoverable.

**If I remove a team member, can I still view their past credit usage and exports?**
Yes, you can view removed team members' credit usage and previously exported lists under [Analytics.](https://app.prospeo.io/analytics)

**Can a removed team member still access the team account?**
No. Their team access is revoked immediately upon removal. However, they will still have their own Prospeo account, it's just no longer a part of your team workspace.

**I accidentally removed the wrong team member, can I re-invite them back?**

Yes. After you remove a member, you can re-invite them at any time as long as you have an available seat.
