What happens if I close the browser during a deletion?

WipeAway Help Centre·2 min read·Updated July 2026

If you close the browser, close the WipeAway tab, or navigate away while a deletion is in progress, the deletion will pause at its current point.

What happens to events already deleted

Events that were already deleted before the browser was closed are gone permanently — they will not reappear. WipeAway does not roll back a partial deletion.

What happens to the remaining events

Events that had not yet been processed when the browser was closed are unaffected — they remain in your calendar exactly as they were.

How to resume

  1. Return to wipeaway.app and sign back in
  2. Select the same calendar(s) and the same cut-off date
  3. Click Count entries — the count will now show only the events that were not yet deleted
  4. Review the updated count and confirm to continue

Because WipeAway only deletes events that still exist in your calendar, you cannot accidentally delete anything twice.

The count will be lower than before. This is correct — it reflects the events still remaining after the partial deletion. The number you see is exactly what will be removed when you confirm.

Tips to avoid interruptions

  • Keep the WipeAway tab in the foreground while a deletion is running
  • On mobile, keep your screen on and the app active until completion
  • For large calendars, run WipeAway on a desktop or laptop rather than a mobile device
