# Offboard Cloud Accounts
> Offboard cloud accounts from Aviatrix PaaS
You can remove a cloud account from Aviatrix PaaS management, if needed. You can
onboard that same account later, or onboard a different account.
*Prerequisites*
Before offboarding a cloud account, any VPCs or VNets onboarded to Aviatrix PaaS
console must first be offboarded. For more information, see
[Offboard VPCs or VNets](/docs/cloud/platform-administration/onboard-offboard/vpc-vnet-offboard).
## Offboard an Azure Cloud Account
1. In *Aviatrix PaaS console*, go to *Cloud Resources > Cloud Accounts*.
2. Locate the cloud account to be removed and click *Delete*
for that account.
3. Click *Delete* in the verification popup. The cloud account is removed from
the Cloud Accounts list.
## Offboard an AWS Cloud Account
If you want to permanently offboard an AWS account from Aviatrix PaaS console,
you can remove from AWS the resources created by the CloudFormation onboarding
template.
Removing these resources is optional, unless you intend to onboard the same
AWS account to Aviatrix PaaS console again. In that case, you *must* remove
the CloudFormation template, two IAM roles, and a policy before onboarding the
same account again.
Deletion of a CloudFormation stack, the roles, and the policy cannot be undone.
Be sure you want to delete the stack permanently.
1. In *Aviatrix PaaS console*, go to *Cloud Resources > Cloud Accounts*.
2. Locate the cloud account to be removed and click *Delete*
for that account.
3. Click *Delete* in the verification popup. The cloud account is removed from
the Cloud Accounts list.
4. If you want to delete the CloudFormation stack, do the following in the *AWS
console*:
1. Go to *CloudFormation > Stacks* and select the stack to delete. The
default name is *aviatrix-onboard-aws*, but the name could have been
modified.
2. Click *Delete*.
3. Read the AWS warning and click *Delete*. The stack status changes to
DELETE\_COMPLETE after several seconds. If you refresh the Stacks pane, the
stack name disappears.
5. To remove the roles, go to AWS *IAM > Access Management > Roles* and select
and delete the following:
* *aviatrix-platform-app*
* `aviatrix-role-ec2-`
1. To remove the policy, go to *Access Management > Policies* and then search
for and delete the following:
* *aviatrix-platform-app-policy*
You can now onboard the same account in the Aviatrix PaaS console, if you choose
to do so.
