So DataStore2 creates a new save data everytime it saves instead of overwriting the previous save data right? My question, what will happen to the previous save files if there’s already a lof of save data from a player? Does the datastore2 script automatically delete the previos save files if there’s already a lot? I’m concerned that there might be a problem if there’s too many save data. Someone knows? Thank you!

As far as I know it does overwrite previous data. Datastores work with Key - Value pairs, so you can’t keep many values under one key (unless you use a table, but thats completely different thing).
So for example when you do Experience = 10, then do Experience = 20, it cannot keep the 10 value, because it can hold only one value, which is now 20.
As for problems. I am using DataStore2 in a huge game with complicated and lots of data, like player clothes, inventory items and stats. I haven’t experienced any lag or data loss, neither did anyone to my knowledge, using DataStore2.
