Hello,
Students that I teach XRP programming to have created many files on the XRPs that we use. I don’t know why sometimes when we create a new file and it goes to save, it just continue saving files for a long time (too many files). Does anyone know what is happening and why it keeps showing that it is saving files?
Is there an easy way to delete all files from XRP?
Thanks
When you run a program it will save all open files that have been modified but not saved to the XRP. This is very similar to other coding environments like VSCode. The reason is that programs can be multi-file and if you only save the file being run, you could end up with unexpected results since other files in your project were not saved.
Currently there is not is not a delete all command for the XRP. There are files out there like nuke.uf2 that will delete everything on the XRP, but that includes the micropython which would then need to be reloaded as in these instructions.
Thanks Frank. It is good to know.I was under the impression that when we run our program, it automatically saves the file. I will make sure that we save files before exiting.
Thanks again.
