# Remove a team member

> Removes a team member from the workspace. The team member is deactivated (soft-deleted).

<Warning>
  **Deprecated:** This is a **v1** endpoint. It will continue to work, but we
  recommend migrating to the [v2 equivalent](/api-reference) for improved REST
  compliance (correct HTTP status codes, consistent response envelopes, and
  hyphenated URLs).
</Warning>

<Info>Replace `{your-subdomain}` with your workspace's subdomain. <br /> Learn how to find your subdomain in [Workspace subdomain](/getting-started/workspace-subdomain).</Info>
