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
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
Open the vault's context menu (three-dot icon or right-click).
Choose Remove and pick one of the three options above.
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.
