Account & Data Deletion
How to delete your data from TerminaLLM.
TerminaLLM does not require an account. Nearly all data is stored locally on your device in encrypted storage. The AI chatbot proxy stores a device identifier and usage counts temporarily (see Server-Side Data below). There is no server-side account to delete.
Delete All Data
In-App: Delete All Data
Open the app → Settings → scroll to the bottom → Delete All Data. After two confirmation prompts, this erases all locally stored data and resets the app to its initial state, including:
- All saved connection profiles
- Encrypted credentials in the vault
- MFA and biometric settings
- Terminal settings and preferences
- AI chatbot conversation history
- Command snippets
- All other app data
This action is irreversible. We recommend creating an encrypted backup before deleting if you want to preserve your settings. The app will close automatically after deletion.
Uninstall the App
Uninstalling TerminaLLM from your device also permanently deletes all locally stored data, including everything listed above plus:
- Host key fingerprints
- Security audit logs
- Terminal session recordings
- Custom terminal themes
Delete Specific Data
You can selectively delete data without uninstalling:
Connection Profiles
Open the app → Connection screen → Tap a saved profile chip to view details, then tap Delete. Or long-press a profile chip and select Delete from the menu. This removes the saved host, port, and username. Credential Vault entries are managed separately.
Credential Vault
Open the app → Settings → Security → scroll to the Credential Vault section. Stored credentials expire automatically based on their configured TTL. All vault data is permanently deleted when you uninstall the app.
Audit Logs
Open the app → Settings → Audit Log → Clear Audit Log. You can also export logs as JSON or CSV before clearing.
AI Chatbot History
Open the app → Chatbot → New Chat. This clears the current conversation and removes all stored messages from encrypted storage.
Terminal Recordings
From a terminal session, open the recordings manager to view and delete individual recordings.
Custom Themes
Open the app → Settings → Terminal & Display → long-press a custom theme → Delete.
Server-Side Data
Proxy server data: If you used the built-in AI chatbot (Pro subscription), your device identifier and daily message count were sent to our proxy server for rate limiting and stored temporarily in Redis. Usage data expires after 48 hours. Subscription validation data may be retained longer. No conversation content is ever logged or stored server-side. To request deletion of any proxy data, email privacy@terminallm.app (see below).
