Abstract
A remote wipe message or notification may be sent from a server computer to one or more target client devices associated with a user. A managed container running on a target client device associated with the user and having a managed cache storing content managed by or through the server computer may, in response to the remote wipe message or notification, deleting the managed content or a portion thereof from its managed cache. The managed container may send back an acknowledgement or message to the server computer that it had completed the remote wipe. The remote wipe functionality can avoid having to deal with individual applications running on the client device and therefore can eliminate the complexity of having to deal with individual applications. Furthermore, the remote wipe can be done independently of the local operating system and without affecting non-managed information/applications on the client device.
