AxCrypt works by decrypting files temporarily and then launching the appropriate application for the decrypted file, which thus is entirely unaware of AxCrypt. AxCrypt monitors the system for the launched app to exit, and when it detects this it will re-encrypt the file and wipe (overwrite) the decrypted file and then delete it.
If you have updated the contents of the encrypted files and which is pending for re-encryption, then please check the folder(C:\Users\”User Name”\AppData\Local\AxCrypt)If you found any subfolders inside the AxCrypt folder take a back up of those folders, please clean the local cache by the below-described way.
Please try to clear the AxCrypt local contents by clicking the Reset button in the sign in dialog or via the AxCrypt file menu File | Options | Clear All Settings & Restart. AxCrypt will clear the temporary files
Please note that if you have forcibly closed the application or your system, that means that you have not given the system a chance to close properly all the pending tasks. Once you open the AxCrypt application again on your system restore, your file will still ask for a cleanup suggesting that you need to re-encrypt the saved file. All updates will restore. Once cleanup is done, the temporary files will automatically be removed.
Hence, the best practice is always to save all your work beforehand and leave no space for any exposure. Remember, your personal data security totally depends on how you treat it.
