Delete your data

There is no account to delete

SlimSweep has no sign-up, no email login and no server-side profile. Scan results, preferences, daily counters, the trash and the encrypted vault are stored on your device. This page explains how to remove each of them, in order.

If you are looking for an in-app “Delete account” button, there is none, because there is no account. Deleting the app removes its local data; the steps below also let you clear individual pieces first.

1. Empty the trash

When you delete photos or videos in SlimSweep they move to the app's trash first: 30 days on the free plan, 90 days on premium. Open the trash and choose Empty Trash to remove them immediately. Items restored before you empty it go back to your library.

Emptying SlimSweep's trash does not empty your phone's Recently Deleted album. On iOS, open Photos → Albums → Recently Deleted and remove the items there if you want them gone from the device. On Android, check your gallery's trash or “Recently deleted” folder.

2. Remove the vault

The vault is encrypted on the device and does not sync. If you still want the contents, export them first — the export is the only copy you will have. Then open the vault, unlock it and choose the delete-vault option. Deleting the vault removes its contents and key from this device.

3. Stop anonymous usage data

Open SlimSweep → Settings and turn off “Anonymous usage data”. No further events are queued or sent. Events already received are anonymous counts that are not linked to your name or device identity, so they cannot be singled out and deleted on request; they are retained only for product analysis. The privacy policy lists the fields.

4. Uninstall the app

Removing SlimSweep deletes its local data: preferences, daily counters, scan results, the trash and the vault key.

• iOS: touch and hold the SlimSweep icon, choose Remove App, then Delete App.
• Android: touch and hold the icon, choose App info, then Uninstall. Or use Settings → Apps → SlimSweep → Uninstall.

Your photos and videos stay in your library; only the app and its own data are removed. If a compressed copy was saved to the library, it remains a normal file until you delete it in Photos or your gallery.

5. What remains, and for how long

• Store records. Apple or Google keeps the purchase record for a subscription under its own policies. We cannot delete it from your store account.
• Support email. If you wrote to us, that correspondence is kept until you ask us to delete it. Email [email protected] and we will remove it.
• Anonymous telemetry. Counts already received are not tied to an identity and are kept only for aggregate analysis; switching the setting off stops new ones.
• Device backups. If your phone backs up to iCloud, Google or a computer, app data may be included in that backup. Removing the app and its backup is handled by your backup provider.

6. Cancel a subscription separately

Deleting the app or its data does not cancel a store subscription. On iOS: Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions. On Android: Google Play → Payments and subscriptions. Cancel there to stop the next renewal; access continues until the end of the paid period.

7. If you cannot open the app

Uninstalling the app removes the local data even if you cannot open it. If you need help with a support request or a store purchase, email us from the address you used before and tell us your platform and app version. We may ask a question or two to understand the request, but we will never ask for your PIN, password or full payment details.
