Use case

    Handover needs deletion—not only logging out

    Buyers recover data from “deleted” files and bloated profiles. VantarisPro combines secure deletion, privacy reviews, and uninstall hygiene so the device is ready for a new owner.

    Why logout is insufficient

    Downloads, sync caches, and duplicate installers remain. Browser profiles may still hold tokens until caches are cleared with scope.

    A resale checklist inside the suite

    File Shredder destroys sensitive files deliberately, Drive Cleaner removes reviewable junk, Privacy Manager reviews tracking surfaces, Uninstall Manager removes apps and scans leftovers, and Duplicate Finder reduces redundant copies that inflate imaging time.
