Deleting your research data

Hilal supports granular delete controls for Product Research data.

In this guide:

  • Delete individual searches
  • Delete individual watchlist items
  • Delete all search history at once

Delete individual searches

To delete a single Standard search:

  1. Go to Product Research → History.
  2. Click on a Standard search to open its detail view.
  3. Click the trash icon (top right) and confirm.

The search and its results are deleted immediately.

Deep Search sessions: Individual Deep Search sessions cannot be deleted. Only the Delete All function removes them.

Delete individual watchlist items

To remove a single product from your watchlist:

  1. Go to Product Research → Watchlist.
  2. Click the Remove button on the product row.
  3. Confirm the deletion.

The product is removed immediately and no longer appears in your watchlist.

Note: Watchlist data cannot be exported. To preserve watchlist data, take a screenshot or note the product details manually.

Delete all search history

To delete every search snapshot you’ve created:

  1. Go to Product Research → History.
  2. Click the Delete All button (top right).
  3. Confirm the deletion in the dialog.

All search results are deleted immediately. Watchlist items remain unaffected.

ℹ️
What remains after bulk delete: Watchlist items stay; they are separate from search history. You can still view, export, and refresh them without the history.

Account closure

To delete your entire Hilal account (not just Product Research data): see Hilal Software’s account closure.

⚠️
Unverified: The exact behavior of data deletion, retention, backup policies, and account-wide cascades when closing your Hilal account has not been fully documented. Contact support or check your account settings for current details.
