⏱

Custom timers

Use the default 2-hour timer or personalize each file’s expiration time.

Lock important files

Pause automatic deletion for a file without removing it from the queue.

🗑

Safe cleanup

Send expired files to the Recycle Bin by default, or choose permanent deletion.

Clean files without thinking about it.

Vanishly stays out of the way and only appears when you need to add, inspect, lock, or remove a temporary file.

1

Add temporary files

Drag files into Vanishly, click the drop zone, or use Windows Explorer → Send To → Vanishly.

2

Let the timer run

Each file gets a countdown. You can change the time, lock it, open it, or copy its path from the context menu.

3

Automatic cleanup

When the timer expires, Vanishly safely moves the file to the Recycle Bin or deletes it based on your settings.
