Self-destruct and cleanup

Self-destruct is the destructive option. Use Shut off or Sign out when you only need to stop Zorro or end your session.

Choose the right action

Shut off

Safely unloads attached clients and closes Zorro. Your installation, account session, settings, and profiles remain.

Sign out

Safely unloads attached clients and returns to the sign-in screen. Your installation, settings, and profiles remain.

Self-destruct

Starts irreversible local removal. Use it only when you intend to remove Zorro from this PC.

Run self-destruct

Open the account menu
Select your account avatar in the desktop app.
Arm the action
Select Self-destruct. The control changes to Tap again to wipe Zorro.
Open the final confirmation
Select the armed action again and read the complete warning.
Confirm permanent removal
Choose Wipe everything now. Choose Not yet to cancel without wiping.
Let cleanup finish
Zorro unloads attached clients and closes before its helper removes local files. Do not immediately interrupt or restart the PC unless the app instructs you to.

Expected result: Zorro closes and its local installation and Zorro-managed data are scheduled for removal.

What Zorro removes

The cleanup targets Zorro's installed application, local app data, staged updates, temporary payloads, logs, and Zorro-managed registry and shortcut entries. Files locked by Windows may be scheduled for deletion during the next restart.

What Zorro cannot remove

Browser history, downloads, searches, autofill, or browser account activity.
Discord, streaming, recording, antivirus, Windows event, or third-party application history.
Copies, screenshots, archives, or logs that you manually moved elsewhere.
Server-side records, bans, moderation evidence, your website account, or Stripe billing records.

Handle those systems through their own controls. To manage billing, use Account → Manage subscription.
