Running Sanitizer¶
Windows¶
To run a Sanitizer check on Windows, open the command prompt (Start Menu > Enter “cmd” and press enter) and enter the following command:
java -jar C:\path\to\sanitizer-0.16.jar check -vault C:\path\to\vault -deep
Replace the paths C:\path\to\sanitizer-0.16.jar
and C:\path\to\vault
accordingly.
You can open an Explorer window and drag & drop the JAR file and vault directory into the command prompt to insert the correct path.
macOS¶
This video shows how to do that on macOS.
Output¶
After running Sanitizer, the files *.structure.txt
and *.check.txt
are created.
Those files contain some information about your vault (a list of the (encrypted) files and a problems report).
Advanced Usage¶
If you’re looking for a way to restore missing file extensions after using the decryptVault
command, please read this guide:

Warning
This article is only for a worst-case scenario when the vault has been partially deleted.
Use at your own risk!
Do not run these scripts if you don’t know exactly what you are doing.
