Crypto-erasing a Lyve Mobile device

A crypto-erase securely deletes all data on the Lyve Mobile device while keeping your device settings and password intact.

To securely erase your Lyve device, Lyve Client accesses all data on individual drives. Therefore, the RAID must be recreated after the crypto-erase is complete. Recreating the RAID requires an initialization that can take over 24 hours if the Lyve device is not in use. You can use your Lyve device during the initialization but performance will be degraded until it is complete. Also, using the device during an initialization will increase the time for it to complete. To avoid delays in completing the initialization, make certain that the host computer does not go to sleep until it is complete. If the computer goes to sleep, the initialization will be paused until it wakes up.

1. Go to a Device Details screen.
2. Hover your cursor over the Secured card and click on the Crypto-Erase icon.
3. Click Enter.
