Why on earth would an application designer provide a non-recoverable way to delete everything in the first place?
- ZeroGravitas 17y agoBecause you're leaving their hosted service and you don't want them to continue datamining your documents?
- RyanMcGreal 17y agoThat's a very good reason. Thanks for replying!
- Hexstream 17y agoHaving a "delete all my work" button and doing datamining are not mutually exclusive... The "delete all my work" button might mean "make my stuff inaccessible for me and all normal users".
- generalk 17y agoAny time I see a feature like that on an app, I think that enough people must have asked the support team to do that for them that it became easier to provide a function for that on the UI. Either that or the app developers just tossed in whatever features they could think up. Depends on how much credit I give the developers.
