Data deletion and recovery choices

Robot Battle Arena: MetalBots, formerly War Bots: Robot Battle Arena and Sparkfall: Robot Combat · Asian Sparrow · Updated November 8, 2026

These instructions cover Robot Battle Arena: MetalBots, current Android package com.asiansparrow.metalbots, and the legacy War Bots/Sparkfall package com.asiansparrow.sparkfall. The existing page address remains available for older clients. Each package has its own app storage; removing one does not remove the other.

An optional local pilot profile stores a pilot name on the device. It is not an online account and does not require an email address, password or social sign-in. There is no Asian Sparrow cloud-save account to delete. Local progress, recovery copies and purchase-provider records can still be associated with your installation or store account. Different controls affect different records.

Optional Play Games backup

In Android builds that include Play Games backup, Settings lets you turn automatic backup off. This stops game-initiated sync without deleting a saved copy already managed by Google. To delete this game’s Google-held progress, use the Google Play Games profile’s game-data deletion controls or Google My Account controls. Google manages your Google/Play Games account and its deletion. Asian Sparrow does not receive your Google password or operate a separate cloud-save account.

Turn backup off on each device before deleting Google-held game data, so a connected device does not later submit its local progress again. Clearing local app storage or erasing gameplay alone does not delete Google-held saves, and deleting a Google-held copy does not erase local or exported copies. A selected cloud restore can retain a local rollback copy; Android app-storage controls remove the game’s device-local copies. Permanent purchase records and Restore rights are separate from saved progress.

Erase gameplay progress

The game’s erase-progress control resets gameplay, builds and coin balance. Purchase receipt markers, age band and legal acknowledgement remain so paid coin transactions cannot be replayed. It does not erase the separate purchase journal, refund purchases or revoke verified permanent Team Licence/Frame Pass rights.

Erase progress is not a request to erase all provider or recovery records. Local recovery copies can retain pilot-profile and battle-damage metadata. To remove local installation data, use the full app-storage controls described below; clearing only a cache may leave other copies.

Remove local app data

Android Settings can clear app storage or uninstall the game, removing local saves, settings and recovery information. Export progress first if you want a gameplay backup, and keep exported codes private. Restore can check permanent purchases after reinstalling; consumed coin balances are not a restorable cross-install wallet. Android backup settings affect which eligible data may return. The device-local financial journal is excluded from system backup and transfer.

Request deletion of purchase or support records

Email support@asiansparrow.com with the subject “MetalBots data deletion”. State what you want deleted and provide enough information to locate the record, such as app version, approximate purchase date, product and an order/support reference if available. We may request proportionate verification. Do not send passwords, card numbers, security codes or a full device backup.

We will review the request and explain what can be deleted and what must be retained. Relevant RevenueCat customer records can be handled through our purchase-service administration. Some accounting, fraud-prevention or legal records may require retention. Deletion can affect paid-access recovery and is not a refund. Google manages its own account/order records under its policies and controls.

Advertising and multiplayer

Use Privacy choices to revisit an available Google consent form. Android advertising-ID controls and Google’s privacy controls apply to Google-held ad data. Gameplay reset does not delete provider-held records.

This server paragraph applies only to compatible editions where networking is enabled, such as separately served browser/private-room beta builds. Separate-device multiplayer is Coming Soon in the current Android mobile edition. The supplied multiplayer server clears expired in-memory room data. Contact an independent server operator about its connection logs or other retention; Asian Sparrow cannot delete records controlled only by that operator. Manage previously shared save codes or artwork with their recipients.
