# TorState.stopped Terminal state after a clean shutdown — all resources released. ``` case stopped ``` ## Discussion The `tor_run_main()` thread has returned, the control socket is closed, and `configuration.dataDirectory` has been removed if `configuration.ownsDataDirectory` is `true`. [`start()`](/documentation/Tor/TorClient/start()) may be called again; it will re-enter `.starting` with a fresh data directory.
