What disconnecting does and does not do
Disconnecting an application in Twitch account settings revokes its authorization, so the connection no longer stands. What it does not do is erase data the service already gathered while it had access. Removal of the connection is a permissions change, not a deletion request aimed at the third party. If you want records held elsewhere removed, that is a separate step with that service, and this article cannot promise any particular outcome.
Review Connections before you disconnect
Twitch account settings have a Connections area for connected services and applications.

Treat that area as an inventory, not a single button. Before revoking anything, note which entries you actually recognize, which you still use, and which were one-off experiments. A tool you tried once and forgot is the typical case worth reviewing; a service you still rely on may deserve to stay.
Authorized applications can be reviewed there, and authorization can be revoked using Disconnect on the relevant row.

Before and after checklist
Use this as an original working checklist for one application at a time.
Before disconnecting
- Identify the exact entry in Connections and confirm it is the application you mean, not a similarly named one.
- Decide whether you still need the service; if you do, disconnecting will cut off whatever it was doing for you.
- Check whether the service holds anything you would want removed, and note that removal is handled with that service, not by this setting.
- Keep any recovery or access method you control until you have finished reviewing the rest of the list.
After disconnecting
- Reopen the Connections area and confirm the entry no longer shows as authorized.
- Repeat the review for any other unfamiliar entries rather than stopping at the first one.
- If the service still holds data you want gone, contact it directly; disconnecting did not do that for you.
- Recheck later if you are unsure the change stuck, since this article cannot confirm your account state for you.
Boundaries to keep in mind
This page describes the documented Connections and Disconnect controls only. It does not describe other menus, exact labels beyond those controls, or what any particular third-party service does with data it already has. It also does not cover username changes, blocking users, or account deletion, which are different tasks.
A public username search is a separate activity. TraceSeek, the app covered by TruthsSeek, checks known public usernames across 3,000+ platforms and offers a free first scan that the product describes as taking 20-30 seconds. It cannot open, change or disconnect anything inside your Twitch account, and a public match is a lead, not proof of ownership. Use it only if your question is about public presence, not permissions.
For related reading on this site, see the existing TruthsSeek guides on reviewing public usernames and on what a username search can and cannot show. Those pages explain the limits of public matching; they do not replace the Twitch settings steps above.
