How to Delete Your Room Scan and HAUNTED Data on Quest
Want to remove your room layout and saved data after playing HAUNTED? What is stored, how to delete room scan data on Quest and what uninstalling removes.
Mixed reality games ask your headset to understand your home, and some people reasonably want to know how to undo that. If you want to delete room scan data on Quest or clear everything HAUNTED: Are You Alone? has stored, there are two separate places to look: the room layout kept by your headset, and the game's own local data. The privacy policy of the game describes both, and this guide walks through them in plain language.
Two kinds of data, two places
- Room layout. This comes from your headset's Space Setup. It belongs to the headset's operating system, not to the game. HAUNTED uses it in real time so walls can break and monsters can stand in your doorways.
- Game data. Chapter progress, weapon upgrades, unlocked secrets and settings, plus a small technical log of the last two sessions, stored locally in the game's private storage on your headset.
Neither is uploaded to the developer, according to the policy.
Deleting your room layout
The privacy policy says: "You can also delete your room layout at any time in your headset's Space Setup settings." In practice that means:
- Open your headset's settings.
- Find the Space Setup or space and boundary section (menu names change with software versions).
- Choose to remove or clear the saved space or spaces you want gone.
- Confirm.
If you only want to refresh the scan because you rearranged the room, you do not need to delete it; just run Space Setup again, then restart HAUNTED. See our Space Setup guide.
What deleting the layout does to the game
If the layout is gone, the game cannot place walls and furniture until you run setup again. The developer lists room setup as a requirement. So deleting the scan is a good step when you are done with the game or the headset, but not when you plan to keep playing.
Deleting the game's data
The support FAQ says uninstalling the game removes your progress. The privacy policy confirms that uninstalling removes progress, settings and log from your device. So the clean-up route is simple:
- Open your headset's library.
- Select HAUNTED: Are You Alone?
- Choose uninstall (menu wording may vary).
- Confirm.
Reinstalling later gives you a fresh start. Your purchase stays in your Meta account, according to how stores generally work; check Meta's pages for details, since the developer does not control that.
What the developer has
You might wonder whether the developer holds a copy. The policy says no: the game sends nothing to the developer's servers, there is no account system of its own, and the developer holds no personal data about you. So there is nothing to delete on their side. If you want to confirm, the policy invites you to email them, and they commit to respond within 30 days.
What Meta may hold
The platform operates under its own privacy policy. The developer's policy says Meta processes your purchase, entitlement check and platform account information, and that the headset platform may include app data in its own backups. To manage that, use Meta's privacy settings and tools in your account. The developer cannot describe those options, so look at Meta's current pages.
Selling or lending your headset
If the headset leaves your hands:
- Uninstall HAUNTED to remove progress.
- Delete saved spaces so your home layout does not travel.
- Consider a full factory reset according to Meta's instructions.
- Remove your account from the device.
Quick answers to common worries
- Does the game save photos of my room? The policy says it does not access, record or store passthrough camera images.
- Does it record audio? It does not use the microphone.
- Does it send data anywhere? It has no connection to any server operated by the developer.

FAQ
How do I delete my room scan on Quest?
Use the Space Setup or space settings in your headset to remove saved spaces. The policy says you can do so at any time.
Does uninstalling HAUNTED delete my room scan?
No. The room layout belongs to the headset. Uninstalling removes the game's progress, settings and log.
Will I lose my progress if I delete the room scan?
Progress is stored separately, so deleting the layout does not remove it, but you will need to set up the room again to play.
Does the developer store my data?
No. The privacy policy says it holds no personal data about you.
