After I delete the account from the website, are my password vaults still cached on my local devices or are they automatically deleted as well? Do I also need to uninstall 1Password from each devi...

Again thank you so much Simon.
Sorry to be such a pain in the ass but Computer wise I am a moron.
Therefor I really appreciate all your help.

To Summarize I have 1PW on BOTH my iPhone and my Windows computer.
If I wanted to delete EVERYTHING follow these steps:

1. On Windows Desk Top:
Start Menu
Gear – Apps – Installed Apps
1Password – UNINSTALL

2. On Windows Desk Top:
Start Menu
Type %LOCALAPPDATA%
Open
Find Folder 1PASSWORD
Move to RECYLE BIN
Empty Recycle Bin

2 Questions Simon
1. That will get rid of all my Secure Notes COMPLETELY ?
2. Does it also remove ALL the data as well as the app from my iPhone ?

So basically doing the following does NOTHING ?

1. SIGN IN 

https://my.1password.com/profile

USER NAME: 
PASSWORD:

2. MANAGE ACCOUNT PAGE
    BOTTOM OF PAGE
    PERMANENTLY DELETE ACCOUNT
    CONFIRM

    Hi Lexxx,

    No problem at all!

    Using the 1Password website to delete your account does delete your data from our servers. The extra steps are to make sure no local data is left on any of your devices, since your initial question was about that.

    The steps you listed for your Windows computer are correct! You'll need to also delete the app from your iPhone so that no local data is left on either device.
