If you have a business profile in Wave that you no longer use, you can archive it to remove it from your view. Wave accounts are limited to 15 business profiles, whether active or archived.

When you archive a business, all invited users associated with it will be removed. It will be hidden from your business list dropdown menu but can be found under your Profile settings in the Archived Business section. No data is deleted when you archive a business.

Personal profiles cannot be archived.
