Remove or delete a vault

What you'll do: Take a vault off this device, or delete it permanently — with a clear understanding of what each option keeps.

Why it matters: "Remove" can mean three very different things. Choosing the wrong one either leaves data behind or destroys it irreversibly.

The three options

Option	Local data	Cloud data	Reversible?
Hide from vault list	Kept	Kept	Yes — restore it later
Delete local data	Removed	Kept	Yes — restore from cloud
Delete everything	Removed	Removed	No — permanent

Steps

1. Open the vault's context menu (three-dot icon or right-click).

2. Choose Remove and pick one of the three options above.

3. For Delete everything, confirm carefully — this permanently destroys the vault on both the device and the cloud, and it cannot be undone.

Good to know

• Hide is the gentle choice — it declutters your list without any data loss, and you can restore the vault later.

• Delete local frees space on the device while keeping the cloud copy for a future restore (with your keys).

• Delete everything securely wipes the associated keys, making the ciphertext unrecoverable by anyone — the intended, irreversible outcome.

Common mistakes

• Choosing "Delete everything" when you meant "Hide." Read the option before confirming — the first two are recoverable; the third is not.

• Deleting local data and expecting the recovery key to bring back a deleted-everything vault. Once the cloud copy is gone too, nothing can restore it.
