Data Stores Manager Update; a question and and an urgent request for help

#1

This is about the new Data Stores Manager update; I’m not sure if this is a bug or not, but I’m pretty sure I’m not supposed to have this many Data Stores, right? If it is wrong, then I’m unsure how this happened. I’m not certain how I managed to achieve 1k+ Data Stores. Is there any way to completely wipe your data and start again, or perhaps just fix it, some how? (I also use Global/Ordered Data Stores, but I don’t think that’s significant.)

Realistically, the only way to delete that many datastores is to create a new game.

Are you using any datastore wrappers, such as DS2?

#3

I really hope i don’t have to create a new game… For goodness sake…

I’m not sure what a datastore wrapper is, but if I’m correct, by “DS2”, you mean the DataStore2 Service Module, right? If so, then yes; however, I recently switched over to ProfileService (another Data Store Service Module). Why?

#4

DS2 creates a new datastore for each player, hence why you have a few thousand datastores.
You should be fine just to ignore the datastore count.

I’ve apparently got 5M datastores…

Good, god. Surely that has to be a bug. If DataStores were to corrupt now at Roblox HQ, we would all be in some deep trouble.

Well, thank you. I’ll see if I can use sleitnick Data Store Editor Plugin to remove them all… All 1k…

Thanks!

I presume ProfileService does the same?

#6

It’s intentional! They create a datastore per player and then use the keys as a way to have multiple versions saved at once, with a (somewhat) easy way to access the latest data. (DS2 is a bit old, before Roblox added some forms of version control, so that’s why it’s done this way)

I haven’t really used profile service, so i am not able to say whether or not is does.

I wouldn’t bother with deleting the datastores. It is basically impossible that you will reach the storage limit

I think you’re confused, I meant a bug with the Data Store Manager, but thanks for letting me know this.

Okay, that’s okay. :slight_smile:

I know, I’m just a perfectionist, and my OCD hates that I have over 1k unused DataStores!! – Roblox should really make it so you can edit people’s Data Stores; delete them, etc.
