Delete data when app is killed in the background.

I have an app where I am saving data but when the app is killed in the background I have to delete all the saved data.

I tried using this method:

Not sure why you need to wipe the data on terminate specifically, but here is something to consider:

Another way to handle this type of situation when apps write data that may be incomplete when they are forced to quit, is that they write out a flag when the data is known to be good.

That way, if the app exits normally, the data will be written and the flag will be written.

If the app is forced to quit, the flag will not get written by nature of the forced quit.

THEN, when the app starts it can look for the flag. If the flag isn't there, the app knows that any data is incomplete and can discard it (delete it) and start over.

Hope this helps.
