[SOLVED] How do I delete a single user's data store?
I want to delete some people's data in a Data Store because they exploited, I have admin commands but I could only change it if they were in a table. It's stored as a table so I'm not sure how I'd overwrite their old data with a empty data table. I want to completely delete if as if the player had never played before. I've tried:
1 | game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("GameData"):SetAsync(tostring(62262419).."Data",nil) |
But as I'm trying to set it to nil as if it had never happened it keeps returning the error 'Argument 2 missing or nil'. Is it possible to do this or will I have to produce a table of empty data just to reset his stats?

You need a key for :SetAsync() Wutras 294 — 9y

What was the key? "user_" ..id ? TheDeadlyPanther 2460 — 9y

It depends on the key you made for them (the recommended key is "user" ..id), but it's not too hard.
Your key is id.. "Data", correct?
Just make a table with their UserIds and iterate through it. So:
1 | local plrs = {1,1232123,1337} -- etc. |
2 |
3 | local ds = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("GameData") |
4 |
5 | for _,v in pairs (plrs) do |
6 | ds:SetAsync(v.."Data",nil) -- the first parameter being the key, the second being the value |
7 | end |
