Clean-up saved variables

Guides UI and Macro
1

i try addons to see if they suit me and most of the time i delete after a day or so. this leaves the settings cluttering up the saved variables.

is there an easier way to clean up these unnecessary files without going through each individual saved variable folders and deleting the leftovers?

thanks :wink:

Certain addon management tools can automatically delete them when you delete the addon.

If the addon doesn’t exist then these don’t take resources in-game (ie. they are not loaded), just some space on your hard drive.

The name of the SavedVariables file(s) will be the same as the name of the addon folder with a .lua (plus possibly a .bak) extension.

A run manually from or a batch file in your WTF folder with something like:
del addonFolderName.* /s /q
if you’re comfortable with that sort of thing.

its just a mild ocd thing - if i remove an addon with the overwolf thing its done, i just usually don’t remember to do that.

thanks :wink:
