✅ Option 1 — Delete data from within the app
The safest way to delete your data while keeping the app installed:
-
1
Delete all documents
Go to Settings → Storage → Delete All Documents. This permanently removes all scans, PDFs, and images from local storage.
-
2
Clear the Secure Vault
Open the vault, select all documents, and delete them. Or go to Settings → Security → Clear Vault.
-
3
Delete notes, todos & reminders
Go to each feature (Notes, Todos, Reminders) and use the "Delete All" option from the menu.
-
4
Disconnect cloud backup
Go to Settings → Cloud Backup → Disconnect Account. This unlinks your Google account from JiVault. Your files in Google Drive are not deleted by this action.
📱 Option 2 — Uninstall the app
Uninstalling JiVault from your device permanently deletes all locally stored data — documents, notes, settings, vault PIN, and preferences. There is no way to recover this data after uninstall unless you had cloud backup enabled.

Confirm deletion
Android will ask you to confirm. All local app data is deleted immediately.
