Remote wipe

Hi,

 

Did anyone came across a program that can wipe securely predefined folders. Something that has a list like Teamviewer and can be executed from outside the network.

The laptops run Windows 10 Pro with normal user and password not active directory.

 

Thank you!

You can always write a script. Unless the user installed in not default folders, it would be relatively easy to find.

 

I'm assuming these are personal devices not Enterprise?

Its for a small business, and they want it for "just in case" someone leaves with a laptop. There are a lot of ifs, laptop has to be powered on, connected to the internet, the program running in the background.

 

Bad idea to start with, a company controlled cloud storage solution might be better.
