4.5.2. Settings to Erase Traces

Erase Traces option scans the system for all the traces, lists them and deletes them permanently. Traces include, traces created during the usage of the system, internet traces that are created by the web browsers, system traces that are created by the operating system, and application traces that are created by the apps.

Stellar File Eraser provides three different options to erase the traces that are created while you operate the system. The options are: 

1. Internet Activity: For each internet activity you do, you risk your privacy.

With Erase Traces settings you can select internet browsers and their activities to remove the traces and irrelevant files created by them.
