How to halt trading and wipe local files. Paths come from the tutorials and the Elite manual. Exact filenames can differ by build. This page does not invent Windows registry keys.
1. Stop placing new orders
- Click Stop Trading. This stops new bot orders. It does not cancel orders already submitted to the exchange.
- Uncheck Enable API so the bot drops live exchange calls.
- On the exchange website or app, cancel leftover open orders yourself.
- Close the DennTech window.
You remain responsible for positions on the exchange after the app is closed.
2. Delete API keys on disk
In-app: Clear API Keys permanently deletes saved keys for the currently selected exchange.
On disk, tutorials name saved_data/{exchange}_api_keys.json (encrypted). Also under saved_data/ if present: positions, watchlist, strategy config, logs, and trial.json. Application folder also holds bot_theme.css. Do not email saved_data/ to anyone.
Advanced then Clear All Data clears local positions and watchlist state. It does not cancel exchange orders.
3. Uninstall the Windows program
Shipped form is a Windows desktop app. Product pages do not sell a Linux SKU.
- Portable folder: after keys are wiped, delete the folder that contains the EXE and
saved_data/. - Installed via wizard: use Windows Settings then Apps if an entry exists. If none exists, delete the install directory.
Deleting the app does not delete your exchange account or open orders. Related: Install · Architecture
