Deleting & restoring a household
Updated 2026-09-02
Only the owner can delete. In Settings → Household, choose Delete household and confirm:
This schedules the household and all of its recipes, meal plans, groceries, memories, and invitations for deletion in 30 days. You can restore it any time before then.
If there are other members, the confirmation also notes they'll be removed.
The 30-day window
After scheduling, everyone opening ReciLore sees a Pending deletion screen with a countdown. The owner can tap Restore household to cancel it any time in those 30 days. Other members can only Sign out until it's restored or gone.
If you're deleting to move on, consider exporting your data first (Full households).
