How do I delete data in the case of a GDPR removal?

#1

so I recently got a message that I have to remove a player from my data stores.
I’m really nervous about this here’s all I know
would I need to run a command or something in order to delete the player’s data?
Do I detect if the id is in the game and delete it there?
I’m so confused about this
I’ve tried running this command:
game:GetService(‘DataStoreService’):GetDataStore( ‘Starlight Avatar Data save0006’…tostring(id)):RemoveAsync(id)
would this be enough to do it?
The thing is it’s inside a table so I don’t know how I would get everything from the table.
Please help!

Removing it like that should be enough, as long as there isn’t any more data anywhere you saved about that user. I think its all dependent on what it says in the message if it is all the data then you need to make sure all the data is gone.

I ended up doing this

game:GetService(‘DataStoreService’):GetDataStore( ‘Starlight Avatar Data save0006’…tostring(id)):RemoveAsync(id,game:GetService(‘DataStoreService’):GetDataStore( ‘Starlight Avatar Data save0006’…tostring(id)))

so it should delete everything in there right?

Yeah, it should. Just make sure you do it anywhere a save for that user could be.

That’s not at all how RemoveAsync works. GlobalDataStore | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub It only takes one argument.
