deleting old stored census/ltdb data #301

Closed stfran22 closed 2 years ago

stfran22 commented 3 years ago

I'm trying to figure out where data are stored locally when running store_census() or store_ltdb. I'd like to locate the files on my machine so I can delete them if I don't intend to use them again.

thanks for raising this--i've also been thinking about it a bit lately. We use the appdirs user data directory (the second link will show you where that goes, depending on your system).

to resolve this i think we should add two things:

[x] something like geosnap.datasets.show_data_dir() that prints the storage location
[ ] something like geosnap.io.remove_data_dir() that removes all geosnap data for you

(maybe both should be on datasets, maybe both io, im not sure)

Gotcha. I found the path by just searching “LTDB” in my C: drive and found it in a hidden folder. It was essentially:

C:/Users//AppData/geosnap/geosnap

I appreciate the quick response.
