Managing treemacs-persist file

[gsilverstein]

Hello,

I did a bit of searching in issues and docs and could not find any information on this. Is there any way to manage the treemacs-persist file other than manually editing said file?

I had a project open in treemacs ages ago and long since removed its directory. I found I would get errors in emacs upon launching that could be bypassed but in the form of project_xyz could not be found.

I eventually found the project references in my treemacs-persist file and removed it and corrected the issue, but is there any m-x or other method to manage . clear projects here.

For reference I am using doom emacs so I'm pretty sure projectile or perspectives added this to treemacs. I don't think treemacs is doing anything wrong per-say I just want to know if there's a more optimal way to manage this.

I actually found that this would revert but I think I've found more. Looks like the proper way to do this is edit the file through treemacs-edit-workspaces. This seems to remove the old entry in a persistent way.

That is the interactive all-in-one option, yes. Editing the persist file manually will only work when treemacs is not running because it'll keep overriding it otherwise.

For single edits there are also commands like treemacs-remove-project-from-workspace. You can get an overview of keybinds with treemacs-common-helpful-hydra and treemacs-advanced-helpful-hydra.

treemacs-missing-project-action could also be relevant for you.
