A collaborative workspace app in Microsoft 365 designed to help teams co-create, stay organized, and work together in real time across apps and devices.
For a personal or Family Microsoft account using Microsoft Loop, workspaces must be deleted by the owner from the Loop web or mobile app; there is no self-service way to have them removed “on the back-end” by a technician.
To delete Loop workspaces with a personal account:
- Open a browser and go to https://loop.cloud.microsoft and sign in with the personal/Family Microsoft account.
- Switch the view to Grid view.
- On each workspace that needs to be removed, select More (the three dots on the workspace tile).
- Select Delete and confirm.
Important behavior and limitations:
- Once a Loop workspace is deleted, it cannot be restored.
- Loop workspaces and components count against Microsoft cloud storage. Deleting them can help free up space if approaching storage quota.
- If the “Oops, something went wrong” error continues and prevents deletion, support must be contacted, because direct back-end deletion is not available to end users. Use the Microsoft 365 consumer support channel and specify that deleting via https://loop.cloud.microsoft fails with that error.
If the issue is with individual Loop components rather than entire workspaces:
- In the Loop app (web or mobile), open the workspace and navigate to the component.
- Select More at the top of the component page.
- Select Delete.
- If a component is deleted by mistake, open the Recycle bin from any other page in the workspace, select More on the item, and choose Restore.
- To permanently clear deleted items, open the Recycle bin and select Empty all.
If errors persist after trying these steps in a supported browser and network, the only path to have them removed is through Microsoft consumer support, referencing the Loop workspace deletion failure.
