Ren'py not deleting persistent data?

#1 Post by TheJoShow »

What it says on the tin; I'm trying to solve some problems but noticed that when I try to delete persistent data for the project I'm working on, the save files stay put. I've hunted around in the game files for them and deleted them, too, but they're still there. This is just one of the problems I'm having with the save screen in Ren'py, but it's a start...I'd definitely like to understand what I'm doing wrong.

You will also need to look for saved data outside of your project folder.

Code: Select all

## Save directory ##############################################################
##
## Controls the platform-specific place Ren'Py will place the save files for
## this game. The save files will be placed in:
##
## Windows: %APPDATA\RenPy\<config.save_directory>
##
## Macintosh: $HOME/Library/RenPy/<config.save_directory>
##
## Linux: $HOME/.renpy/<config.save_directory>
##
## This generally should not be changed, and if it is, should always be a
## literal string, not an expression.
But usually you only have to use the Delete Persistent button in the Launcher screen.

No, sorry! You must be mistaking me for someone else.
