Even if the user configures Clipjump for maximum security and privacy, and then exits Clipjump, previous clips are still retained and are easily viewed.

Tested with v12.5 64-bit.

Incognito Mode: Enabled Retain clipboard data upon application restart: Unchecked Number of days to keep items in history: 0

Upon exiting Clipjump, clips are still present in ..\cache\clips as individual plaintext .avc files.

Recommendation: With the settings above are specified by the user, delete all .avc files upon Clipjump exit.
