Managing and deleting your data

What this covers: The four delete buttons, what each one actually removes, and what stops working afterwards.

Read before using, not after

At the bottom of Settings → Social Media there’s a section headed Data Management. It’s tucked away because it’s rarely needed and none of it can be undone.

None of this is recoverable

There is no undo, no bin, and no support request that brings it back. Read the section for the button you’re about to press.

Clear Cache

Removes the working data EBENEZER keeps while handling your sermons. Sermons will need re-processing to appear properly again — and re-processing uses a sermon credit.

You almost certainly don’t need this. If something looks wrong on a review page, try refreshing the page first, then ask for help before reaching for this button.

Delete Clips

Deletes every video clip EBENEZER has made for your church — both the raw cuts and the finished captioned versions.

Clips you’ve already published stay published. A video on YouTube is on YouTube; deleting here doesn’t reach it. What you lose is the ability to re-publish or re-download those clips from EBENEZER.

Delete Transcripts

Deletes the written record of every sermon.

This breaks more than it looks like it will

Everything is built from the transcript. Delete them and you can no longer generate devotionals, newsletters, blog posts or Bible studies from any past sermon — including ones you’ve already processed. Existing content already generated survives; making anything new from those sermons does not.

Delete All Data

Everything above at once: clips, transcripts, cache, and your sermon list. It asks twice, because it should.

This is for closing an account or starting genuinely fresh. Anything already published to YouTube, your website, or a podcast host is unaffected and stays live.

Before you press any of them

Download what you want to keep. Clips, blog HTML, Bible study PDFs, podcast MP3s — get them onto a drive first.
Check whether you actually need to. Storage isn’t billed by the sermon, so there’s rarely a housekeeping reason to clear anything.
Ask first if you’re troubleshooting. If somebody suggested one of these to fix a problem, check the troubleshooting guide or ask support. Most problems have a smaller answer.

What isn’t here

These buttons don’t touch your subscriber lists, your church profile, or your platform connections. Subscribers are managed on their own pages, and connections under Social Media above.
