Hi, I'm sensei and I was about to finish my game which had a data system. There was Cash, Karma and your inventory. Everything saved fine, but there was an issue...

For example, let's say I had 10 apples in my inventory. I remove 7 of them (in server-side, dont worry) and now there were 3 apples left. When I saved, the output printed that it saved it in the table and successfully saved. When I rejoined, I still had 7 apples, even though the saving message said that I saved 3 apples in my inventory.

function save(plr)
	dataTable.cash = plr.Cash.Value
	dataTable.karma = plr.Karma.Value
	dataTable.inventory = {}
	for _,item in pairs(plr:WaitForChild("Inventory"):GetChildren()) do
		table.insert(dataTable.inventory,item.Name)
		print("saved "..item.Name.." into datastore")
	end
	
	local success,failure = pcall(function()
		datastore:SetAsync(tostring(plr.UserId),dataTable)
	end)
	if success then
		print('data saved')
	elseif failure and not success then
		print(failure)
		warn('data failed to save')
	end
	for i,v in pairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
		if v.Name == plr.Name.."_Item" then
			v:Destroy()
		end
	end
end
function load(plr)
	local data
	
	local success,failure = pcall(function()
		data = datastore:GetAsync(tostring(plr.UserId)) --load
	end)
	
	if success and data then
		print(data.cash)
		print(data.karma)
		plr.Cash.Value = data.cash
		plr.Karma.Value = data.karma
		for i,v in pairs(data.inventory) do
			local item = game.ReplicatedStorage.Items:FindFirstChild(v)
			if item then
				local clone = item:Clone()
				clone.Parent = plr.Inventory
				print('loaded '..item.Name)
			end
		end
		print("successfully loaded data")
	elseif failure and not success then
		print(failure)
		warn('data did not load')
	end
end

(yes i did call these functions) NO IDEA why this is happening... I'm trying to learn datastore2 but it's too complicated for me with this hardcoded script...

Any help is appreciated!
