Delete Your FreeScan Data

FreeScan is a local-first scanner app. Because it is designed to work on-device, there is no server account to delete. You can remove scans, PDFs, OCR text, and local app settings directly on your Android device.

Documents you scan or export are stored locally unless you choose to share, print, or move them through another app or service.

What Will Be Deleted

Saved scans and page images stored inside FreeScan
Generated PDFs stored inside the app
Offline English OCR text associated with saved documents
Local folders, labels, document organization data, preferences, and temporary scan state

What May Stay Outside the App

PDFs or images you exported to device storage
Documents you shared with another app, contact, cloud service, printer service, or file manager
Original images from your gallery, unless you delete them yourself

How to Delete Your Data

Option 1: Delete Documents in FreeScan

Open FreeScan and delete scans or folders you no longer want to keep, if this option is available in your app version.

Option 2: Delete Exported Files Manually

Use your Android file manager or gallery app to remove PDFs, page images, or source images that were exported or saved outside FreeScan.

Option 3: Clear App Data

Open Android Settings, find FreeScan in your apps list, then clear the app's storage or uninstall the app to remove local app data from your device.

Option 4: Contact Us

If you need help or have questions about deleting local data, email us at nippydeveloper@gmail.com.

Deletion Timeline

Because FreeScan does not keep server-side user accounts for its core scanning workflow, deletion is immediate once local app data is cleared and any exported files are removed from your device.
