C++ IDE - Delete Your Account and Data
How to request deletion of your C++ IDE account and everything stored with it.
Last updated: 7 August 2026
This page explains how to delete your C++ IDE for Android account and the data
stored with it. It applies to the app published by Shahid Khan under the package
name dev.cppide.ide.
Before you start
If you never created an account, there is nothing to delete on our side. The app works fully signed out, and in that mode your projects, source code, compiler output and debugger sessions never leave your device. Uninstalling the app removes them.
How to request deletion
Send an email to shahidkhan.dev88@gmail.com from the address you signed up with, with the subject line “Delete my C++ IDE account”.
Open a pre-filled deletion request
We ask you to send it from your registered address so we can confirm the request is really yours. If you no longer have access to that mailbox, email us anyway and tell us your display name and roughly when you signed up, and we will work out another way to verify you.
What gets deleted
Everything tied to your account is removed:
- Your account record: display name, email address, user ID and password hash
- Chat messages you sent or received, including any code snapshots attached to them
- Solutions you uploaded through the app
What is not affected
- Files stored only on your device. Those are yours and we never had a copy. Uninstall the app to remove them.
- Anonymous, aggregated counts that cannot be traced back to you, such as the total number of times an exercise pack was downloaded.
How long it takes
We complete deletions within 30 days of receiving your request, and email you to confirm when it is done. In practice it is usually much faster. Deletion is permanent, and we cannot restore an account afterwards, so please make sure you have saved anything you want to keep first.
Retention
We keep your account data only for as long as your account exists. There is no separate retention period after deletion beyond the routine backup cycle, which rolls over within 30 days.
