I have created some files within my Xamarin Forms application.
string Emoji = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData), "Emoji.json");
I have created some files within my Xamarin Forms application. but although I uninstall the application from the phone and debug again with VisualStudio, the files inside remain, with everything that was previously saved. How could I solve?
Hello,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!
If the file is stored in Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData , the exact file path is /data/user/0/com.companyname/files/.local/share , this belongs to internal storage , it should be deleted when the app is uninstalled .
I test with LocalApplicationData , but I didn't find the path /.local/share , it seems to be hidden .
I suggest you use Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments instead , the file is deleted as expected when app uninstalled in my test .
