Selectively Managing Datasets

摘要

Selectively wiping data. A method includes identifying a plurality of datasets on a device. The method further includes identifying one or more datasets, on a dataset basis, from among the plurality of datasets that are managed datasets associated with a particular user account by being associated with an account identifier for the particular user account at a data structure external to the device. The managed datasets are associated with a particular user account by being associated with an account identifier for the particular user account. The method further includes receiving an indication that managed data associated with the particular user account should be wiped from the device. The method further includes wiping the one or more datasets that are identified as being managed datasets associated with a particular user account while not wiping datasets from the plurality of datasets that are not associated with the particular user account.

1. In a computing environment, a method of managing datasets on a device for improved efficiency in identifying and operating on managed datasets, the method comprising:
identifying that a user of an application on a device wants to create a dataset using the application; identifying a user account, from among a plurality of user accounts associated with the user, on the device, to be used fir a dataset creation process; the application creating the dataset; associating the identified user account with the dataset by associating an account identifier with the dataset; and causing an association of the account identifier and the dataset to be stored external to the application.
