Deleting a Bot leaves its logins and files behind on the shared computer

Severitymedium

SymptomThe Bot, its conversation and its routines disappear, but the credentials and files it created remain reachable by every other Bot.

CauseDeletion is scoped to the Bot record, not to the shared machine's state.

DetectionRequires manually inspecting the shared computer after deleting a Bot.

FixTreat teardown as a manual checklist: sign out of every site the Bot used, and remove its files from the shared computer yourself. Note that routine deletion is separately immediate and unrecoverable, and that deleting a Bot deletes the routines it owned.
