@@ -165,3 +165,18 @@ If you don't want a self-hosted bridge anymore, you can delete it using
165165
it from the Beeper servers (e.g. any rooms and ghost users it created).
166166
For official bridges, it will also delete the local data directory with the
167167
bridge config, database and python virtualenv (if applicable).
168+
169+
Note that deleting a bridge through the Beeper client settings will
170+
*not* delete the bridge database that is stored locally; you must
171+
delete that yourself, or use `bbctl delete` instead. The bridge
172+
databases are stored in `~/.local/share/bbctl/prod` by default.
173+
However, note that if you use any option that causes the bridge
174+
database to be stored in a separate location, such as `-l` which
175+
stores it in the current working directory, then `bbctl delete` will
176+
*not* delete the bridge database, and you will again have to delete it
177+
manually.
178+
179+
If you later re-add a self-hosted bridge after deleting it but not
180+
deleting the local database, you should expect errors, as the bridge
181+
will have been removed from Matrix rooms that it thinks it is a member
182+
of.
