Whether or not it is appropriate to call it a memory leak doesn't really concern me. I'm calling it that because the data is now unreachable but still using space.

So I was being stupid and used RANDOM key tags to save data (player:SaveString(key, string))

My problem is that those keys are now lost. I don't know what I was thinking. The strings contained use a lot of memory.


Is there any way for me to essentially 'reset' the memory and return all tags to default values?

Well, I think you could contact a computer specialist and ask them to reset the memery and stuff. It's worth a try.

Depends on how the DP data is saved..
If it's saved in predefined-length array it would require the same space when nothing is saved and when the max amount is saved.

Ugh. That is so gross.

The current data API is basically a prototype. We need to revamp and overhaul it.

Can't think of a good solution for you except to upload the place to a new slot :/

Wouldn't resetting the place work, too?

There is no solution to that.

I wish there was a way to reset all the memory and a way to get all the currently used keys.
