Why would you want to delete the data? That's when you open the door for an attacker to access it. If the data is encrypted, it can remain on its partition because it is inaccessible. Interestingly, apples have to be compared to oranges. On Linux, it is easy to identify the programs that are using a library. Thus it is easy to restart just the services that are patched. In general, things can be scripted so there are no tools available. But this requires somebody who understands the system. From a business perspective, this might be more expensive, or not, if the tools are expensive.
