Before disabling account teams, do the following:

- Delete all custom fields, custom buttons and links, page layouts, validation rules, Apex triggers, and workflow rules that you’ve added to account teams.
- Delete all custom reports that include account team information.
- Uninstall Apex packages that use account teams.
- Remove account team members referenced in your Apex code.

Warning Disabling account teams is an irreversible process, permanently removing all teams from accounts, deleting all default account teams, and removing the Account Team related list from all page layouts.

1. In Setup, use the Quick Find box to find **Account Teams**.
2. Select **Disable Account Teams**.
