Cancel tl;dv and delete what it has

Cancelling the paid plan and deleting what tl;dv recorded are separate steps — cancelling alone deletes nothing. Here is each one, in tl;dv's own words.

From tl;dv's own help pagesRead on 10 November 2026

Cancel the paid plan

  1. Settings → Plan & Billing (or Account & Billing) → Manage subscription, which opens Stripe, then Cancel plan — Stripe also offers to pause it instead.

Delete recordings and notes

  1. On the meeting’s thumbnail, or inside the recording, click the three dots and Delete. tl;dv keeps no backup, so a deleted recording cannot be recovered.

Delete the account

  1. Go to your profile settings at tldv.io/app/settings/personal-settings/profile and click delete account. tl;dv says everything is deleted and no logs are kept.

Good to know

Removing the Chrome extension or the desktop app does not stop tl;dv being invited to meetings — that is the auto-record setting. In a single meeting, deny the bot entry or remove it like any participant.

Not covered

tl;dv's help pages, read 10 November 2026, say nothing we could find about stopping its emails. Ask tl;dv's support team rather than guess.

If a recording of you is in somebody else's account

Deleting your own account does not touch recordings other people made of meetings you were in — those belong to whoever recorded them. Ask that person to delete it, or ask tl;dv to pass the request on.

Meetings without a notetaker to get rid of

Meetful writes the notes from each person's own microphone inside the meeting, so there is no bot to invite, no separate account holding your recordings, and anybody can leave themselves out of the notes.
