Method and device for clearing data and electronic device

An electronic device, comprising:

• a processor, a memory, a display, a communication interface and a bus;
• wherein the processor, the memory, the display and the communication interface are coupled and communicate with each other via the bus;
• the memory is configured to store computer executable program codes, the executable program codes comprises instructions;
• and when the instructions are executed by the processor, the instructions is configured to cause the electronic device to execute following acts:
• launching a target application;
• acquiring a clearing instruction triggered by a user;
• judging whether the operation system is of a preset version or of a higher version than the preset version;
• judging whether an auxiliary permission is available to the user;
• if the operation system is of a lower version than the preset version, or if the operation system is of the preset version or the higher version and the auxiliary permission is unavailable to the user, triggering the target application to clear data stored in the electronic device;
• and
• if the operation system is of the preset version or of the higher version and the auxiliary permission is available to the user, invoking a system clearing interface of the electronic device, simulating a click on the system clearing interface input by the user, so as to trigger and start a system clearing progress;
• wherein the data stored in the electronic device is cleared by the system clearing progress;
• wherein, before invoking a system clearing interface of the electronic device, the method further comprises:
• when an application Ai recorded in a white list is comprised in the electronic device, amending a package name of the application Ai in a storage path of the electronic device from Pi to Pi′, wherein the application Ai is anyone recoded in the white list, and Pi is different from Pi′;
• and
• after clearing the data stored in the electronic device by the system clearing progress, the method further comprises:
• acquiring a message indicating a completion of clearing the data stored in the electronic device by the system clearing progress;
• and
• amending the package name of the application Ai in the storage path from Pi′ to Pi.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, having computer programs stored therein, when the computer programs are executed by a processor of an electronic device, the device may perform a method for clearing data, wherein the method for clearing data comprises:

• launching a target application;
• acquiring a clearing instruction triggered by a user;
• judging whether the operation system is of a preset version or of a higher version than the preset version;
• judging whether an auxiliary permission is available to the user;
• if the operation system is of a lower version than the preset version, or if the operation system is of the preset version or the higher version and the auxiliary permission is unavailable to the user, triggering the target application to clear data stored in the electronic device;
• and
• if the operation system is of the preset version or of the higher version and the auxiliary permission is available to the user, invoking a system clearing interface of the electronic device, simulating a click on the system clearing interface input by the user, so as to trigger and start a system clearing progress;
• wherein the data stored in the electronic device is cleared by the system clearing progress;
• wherein, before invoking a system clearing interface of the electronic device, the method further comprises:
• when an application Ai recorded in a white list is comprised in the electronic device, amending a package name of the application Ai in a storage path of the electronic device from Pi to Pi′, wherein the application Ai is anyone recoded in the white list and Pi is different from Pi′;
• and
• after clearing the data stored in the electronic device by the system clearing progress, the method further comprises:
• acquiring a message indicating a completion of clearing the data stored in the electronic device by the system clearing progress;
• and
• amending the package name of the application Ai in the storage path from Pi′ to Pi.
