• Memory: At least 4 Gigabytes of RAM.
• Storage: 200 Megabytes of free disk space.
• Internet Connection: Stable connection to link your cloud accounts.

3. Click the "Run anyway" button.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to finish the installation.

🚀 Running ForgetOps

Once installed, launch the application from your Start menu or desktop icon. The main screen provides a dashboard for your data tasks.

Connecting your services

The app needs permission to talk to your SaaS platforms.

1. Navigate to the "Accounts" tab.
2. Select the service you wish to manage from the list.
3. Provide your API keys or follow the sign-in prompts.
4. The app confirms the connection with a green checkmark.

Running a deletion request

2. Click "New Request."
3. Choose the action type. You can select "Delete all data" or "Export data archive."
4. Review the summary screen to verify your selections.
5. Click "Execute" to start the process. The app logs every step so you have proof of the request.

📋 Common tasks

Data deletion

When you submit a request, ForgetOps contacts the service provider. It commands the platform to erase your records. This helps when you leave a service and want to ensure no trace of your personal info remains.

Data exports

An export task collects your data into a single file. The app formats this data for easy reading. You download the file directly to your local computer once the tool finishes the gathering process.

🛠️ Troubleshooting

If the app fails to connect to a service, check your internet settings first. Ensure your API keys remain valid and have not expired. If a specific task hangs, restart the application and retry the action. Most errors happen due to invalid login credentials.

🔐 Privacy and safety

All operations happen on your local machine. ForgetOps acts as a bridge between your computer and your cloud services. It does not store your passwords on external servers. Your credentials stay inside the app on your hard drive.

🌐 Community and support

If you run into bugs, open an issue on the GitHub repository. Provide a brief description of what happened and include the error message if one appears. This helps the developers fix issues faster. You can also review the documentation folder for advanced configuration tips.
