Reset or delete your data
Understand exactly what the ATSReady profile reset and delete-all-data actions remove, what survives each one, and which of the two asks you to confirm harder.
On this page
ATSReady has two destructive actions. They remove almost the same things, and the one that asks you to confirm hardest is not the one that removes more.
The two destructive actions
| Action | Page | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Reset Profile | General | deletes your content, clears onboarding history, and re-arms the setup wizard |
| Delete All Data | Account | deletes your content, leaving the account, subscription, billing, and chat history in place |
Where each setting lives has the routes for both pages.
What both actions delete
Both run the same purge, so both remove resumes and their uploaded files, jobs with their notes, contacts, interviews and cover letters, the tracker board and its columns, every Professional Journey entry, your Professional Identity and its suggestions, your skills, your processing history, and your notifications.
Both also delete the mock-interview answers you asked ATSReady to keep. If you turned on keeping your answers during a mock interview, each kept record — the interviewer's question, the answer you gave, and the draft offered beside it — is deleted, along with the permission that kept them. Nothing comes back by turning the permission on again, and the next time you ask for a draft you are asked for the permission from the start.
Both also delete your preferences — the whole of the Preferences page: Contact, Links, Location, Eligibility, Compensation, Role & Experience, Work Arrangement, and your interface language along with them.
That last part is worth reading twice, because settings and preferences are two different sets here and only one of them goes. What survives is the separate set of General-page settings, such as your default resume template. The confirmation dialogs name the two separately, so check which of the two words the line in front of you is using.
If your preference sections matter to you, write them down before you confirm either action.
What survives both
- your account and your ability to sign in
- your subscription and billing history
- your chat threads and conversations, though a thread loses the job, resume, or entry it was attached to, because those records are gone
- the written record of a mock interview inside the conversation it was held in — but not the answers ATSReady kept separately from it, which are on the delete list above
The only difference between them
Reset Profile additionally cancels any live setup session, clears your onboarding history, and marks setup incomplete, so ATSReady reopens Get started as a first-run flow. Delete All Data leaves your onboarding state alone.
Before you confirm
The confirmation strength is inverted, and this is the trap:
- Delete All Data opens a dialog listing what goes and what stays, and will not enable its
button until you type
DELETE. - Reset Profile — which deletes everything the other one does and your onboarding history — confirms in a single click. There is nothing to type.
So the more destructive action is the easier one to trigger by accident. Read the dialog title before you click the confirm button, not after.
