while removing all the associated data, has the effect of resetting the account back to its initial

accounts can be restored later if needed. They are automatically restored if an account with the
same name is added through the Accounts tab.
Select ”Permanently delete account” to remove the account and all associated data from the
database. CAUTION: Permanently deleted accounts cannot be recovered.
To view hidden accounts, check the "Show hidden accounts" checkbox on the Accounts tab.
You can then use the Remove button to permanently delete the account. You cannot add
hidden accounts, or change their properties.
Associated Data
Check ”Delete account’s file information” to remove all data about the account’s backed up files
from the database. CAUTION: The account will no longer have access to previously backed up
files, although it can back up new files. This option is not available if the account is being
permanently deleted.
Check ”Delete accounts server requests” to delete the accounts request history from the
database. This is a housekeeping option that has no effect on the account. This option is not
available if the account is being permanently deleted.
