Data deletion
Remove a waitlist entry, connection, or local workspace.
ThreadCue has several data boundaries. Choose the instruction that matches what you want to remove.
Delete a waitlist entry
Email getthreadcue@gmail.com from the address you joined with and use the subject “ThreadCue waitlist deletion.” The operator will verify the request and complete it without undue delay, ordinarily within 30 days. The active waitlist record will be removed once the request is verified.
The waitlist database is backed up weekly. A deleted record may remain in access-restricted backups for up to 30 days, after which it expires through normal backup rotation. If a backup is restored before expiry, verified deletion requests are reapplied before the restored waitlist is used.
Disconnect Reddit
- Open Connections in the ThreadCue desktop application.
- Find the live Reddit account.
- Choose Disconnect and confirm.
ThreadCue attempts to revoke the Reddit refresh token, then removes the gateway grant, desktop gateway credential, and local account metadata. Existing tasks and drafts remain. Previously captured source snapshots are not deleted immediately; they expire through the configured retention cleanup, 48 hours by default.
You can also revoke the application from Reddit’s own authorized-app settings. The next ThreadCue check should mark the connection as needing attention, but local derived work still remains until separately removed.
Delete the entire local workspace
Quit ThreadCue completely, then delete the ThreadCue data directory for your operating system:
| Platform | Default path |
|---|---|
| Windows | %LOCALAPPDATA%\ThreadCue |
| macOS | ~/Library/Application Support/ThreadCue |
| Linux | $XDG_DATA_HOME/threadcue or ~/.local/share/threadcue |
If THREADCUE_DATA_DIR was set when the app started, delete that configured directory instead. This removes the local SQLite workspace, Data Protection keys, and protected provider-secret files. Make a backup first if you may need the drafts later.
Remove an OpenAI credential
The prototype does not yet provide a dedicated in-app OpenAI credential removal action. Switching to Demo AI does not erase the stored key. To guarantee removal in the current build, delete the full local data directory using the instruction above. A scoped credential-removal control is a required pre-release improvement.
