Decide what you want to clear

#

There is no Chore Miner cloud account to close. These actions manage local saved data and family-device connections.

  1. Sync outstanding work before leaving if you want it kept elsewhere.
  2. Export an encrypted backup before a destructive action if you may need the history later.
  • Leave family on this device: clears this installation’s family data, credentials, queues, and notifications. The family remains on other devices.
  • Reset family: clears this installation and invalidates the family connection as other devices receive the reset.
  • Delete a child: removes that child’s associated data without ending the rest of the family.
