Why is there a data file?

Why is there a data file that collects information about everyone who went diving or was just playing?
I mean it's just something that has to be deleted every wipe to not make the file bigger and bigger.
Is this necessary for a UI that shows your oxygen?

I guess I could handle data usage a bit differently and only let user settings be created when a user chooses to change a setting (add another alarm, change a color...) and maybe provide an automatic cleanup for like players who didn't join during a definable period.

How big does your file get if I may ask?

I delete it every wipe.
But of course every data of every players during the wipe gets collected. I don't think it's necessary, is it?
I don't let my players change a setting. It's just used as an diving ui. That's it.
That's why I wondered.

Hi, 

The plugin has been updated.

There is a new config option "Remove after offline days". By default it is 0 so no data is removed automatically.
When setting it for example to 31, data of players who didn't join anymore within the periud will be removed.
The check happens once a day and is triggers by the serversave.

When a new player joins, no player data is being created now anymore but only when the player actually changes something.
Data is also being removed at the "/diving reset" player command.
