Scenario

You're Priya Nandakumar, a sophomore at Riverton State University. The shared desktop in your residence-hall study lounge runs the Aurora browser, and you've heard about info-stealer malware that scrapes saved browsing artifacts off lab machines.

Before you log off for the night, you want to wipe every locally stored trace of your session — for all time, not just today — so nothing useful is left behind for the next person or for a stealer to harvest.
