With the Oxide.users.data file, we've got nearly 38k lines in there.  How do we go about purging out those lines?  We've got a ton of VIP members on the server, and it'd be a pain to have to go and add them all back in.  Can we just say on the 1st user, remove the + symbol down to the ( *leaving that symbol there*?  Or would that corrupt the file?

more of a pain than manually editing 38k lines?

No, ur gonna corrupt the file. Try using Visual Studio Community with the necessary libraries to read that file. It'd be easier to delete and regrant permissions. Use permission manager (unfortunately, you'll need to Google that) to help with regranting stuff.

Ur computer can parse that file a million times faster than you can read/edit it. It'd be ok, as is. Mine is 14k. Delete, and regrant on the people who complain for a good wipe.

It's not meant to be editted manually. It's meant for oxide to store and read data. You can use commands with wildcards to interact with it.

There will be options for data retention in uMod for files such as this. Oxide doesn't currently have any cleanup options for it, and each player is currently stored when they connect.
