ZeroTrace v1.2.0 – Operator Nuke Update

ZeroTrace v1.2.0 is here, and it's the most complete version yet. This release adds the two most requested disk space nukes, makes them optional for safety, and pushes the tool to a full 18-step cleanup utility.

"More than a cleanup — it's a sovereign system reset."

🚀 What's New in v1.2.0

🛠 Extended Cleanup Targets

  • Optional Hibernation Disable: Reclaim ~75% of your RAM size by deleting hiberfil.sys with powercfg -h off. Operator-prompted for safety.
  • Optional Shadow Copy Deletion: Nuke all System Restore points with vssadmin delete shadows /all /quiet to free 3-10% of drive space. Requires confirmation.
  • Full 18-Step Logic: Progress bar and reporting now track all 18 steps, up from 16.
  • Safer Execution: Steps 17 and 18 ask [y/N] before running. No accidental data loss.

📊 Enhanced System Insights

  • Total Storage Readout: Displays your total drive capacity alongside free space (e.g., 31 GB of 118 GB).
  • Cleanup Duration Timer: See exactly how many seconds the "Zero Trace" process took.
  • Improved Space Metrics: Accurate calculation of space freed using PowerShell integration before/after.

🎨 Refined Experience

  • ANSI Color UI: Modern, color-coded terminal experience for better readability.
  • Dynamic Progress Bar: Real-time visual tracking of the 18-step cleanup process.
  • App-Specific Cleaning: Deep cleaning for VS Code, Discord, Spotify, browsers, and GPU caches.
  • Deep Trace Scrubbing: Removes ShellBags and UserAssist registry traces for maximum privacy.

✅ What’s Included

  • ZeroTrace.exe — Branded, portable, admin-enabled executable.
  • ZeroTrace_v1.2.bat — Full source script with the new 18-step logic + optional nukes.
  • MIT License — Free to use, modify, and distribute.

⚙ How to Use

  1. Download ZeroTrace.exe
  2. Right-click → Run as administrator
  3. The script will automatically close running apps (Spotify, Discord, VS Code, Browsers) to ensure a deep clean.
  4. Choose your nukes: Type y to disable hibernation or delete restore points when prompted. Hit Enter to skip.

Or run via PowerShell (ideal for VMs):

$z = "$env:TEMP\zt.exe"; irm https://github.com/johnwesleyquintero/zerotrace/releases/latest/download/ZeroTrace.exe -OutFile $z; Start-Process -Wait $z -Verb RunAs; Remove-Item $z

🔒 Trust Principles

  • Offline by Design — No network calls or telemetry.
  • Zero Data Collection — We don't want your data; we want your space back.
  • Vanilla Windows — No external dependencies required.
  • Audit-Ready — Pure batch and PowerShell logic. Read every line.
