I’m making a tool save script it works but when i get another tool it doesnt delete the other tool is there a way to delete the other tool?

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local toolSave = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("toolSave2")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Folder = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Shields")



game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local toolName = Instance.new("StringValue")
	toolName.Parent = plr
	toolName.Name = "toolName"
	local LoadSave = toolSave:GetAsync(plr.UserId) or ("Starter Shield")
	toolName.Value = LoadSave
	local shieldclone = Folder:WaitForChild(LoadSave):Clone()
	shieldclone.Parent = workspace:WaitForChild(plr.Name)
	
	toolName.Changed:Connect(function()
		toolSave:SetAsync(plr.UserId, toolName.Value)
		for i, shields in pairs(Folder:GetChildren()) do
			local newshield = Folder:WaitForChild(toolName.Value):Clone()
			newshield.Parent = workspace:WaitForChild(plr.Name)
		end
	end)
end)

All I can say is that this datastore system is poorly optimized. You shouldn’t call set async in a Changed event, especially if it’s player-controlled.
It doesn’t look like you’re deleting the old tool in your script, so maybe that’s why it’s not being deleted.
