Can't erase save file

Agustín Pérez Fernández

Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to delete a save and then load an empty file so the player can start the game fresh but it is not working on native builds. It works only on Flash.

Steps are:

I play a little to save some progress.
Then I erase the save file and it's variables.
I close the game and start it again.
The save file still has the data from the first step.

The code to erase the save file is the following. It is triggered by a button:

function releaseOk(e:MouseEvent):Void
{
	trace("delete save" + FlxG.save.erase());
	FlxG.save.data.lastLevelCompleted = null;
	FlxG.save.data.levelsScoresData = null;
	FlxG.save.data.levelsStarsData = null;
	FlxG.save.flush(0, onFlushComplete);
}

function onFlushComplete(r:Bool):Void
{
	FlxG.switchState(new SplashState());
}

To load the save I'm using:

public function loadGameData():Void
{
	
	//inicia variables
	Reg.lastLevelUnlocked = 0;
	
	Reg.levelsScoresData = [];
	
	Reg.levelsStarsData = [];
	
	// carga la data
	if (FlxG.save.data.lastLevelCompleted != null)
	{
		
		Reg.lastLevelUnlocked = FlxG.save.data.lastLevelCompleted;
		
		Reg.levelsScoresData = FlxG.save.data.levelsScoresData;
		
		Reg.levelsStarsData = FlxG.save.data.levelsStarsData;
		
		FlxG.log.add("loaded. last level completed: " + FlxG.save.data.lastLevelCompleted);
	}

	trace("load Game Data last level " + FlxG.save.data.lastLevelCompleted + Reg.lastLevelUnlocked 
	+ " levels levelsStarsData " + Reg.levelsStarsData 
	+ " levels score " + Reg.levelsScoresData);
	
}

And to save:

  function saveGameData():Void
  {
	trace("saveGameData");
	if (Reg.level >= Reg.lastLevelUnlocked)
	{
		Reg.lastLevelUnlocked = Reg.level +1;
	}
	
	Reg.scoreLevel = Reg.coinsCollected + Std.int(Math.max(0, Reg.timeGoalLevel - Std.int(Reg.timePlayingLevel))) + Reg.itemsCollected;
	Reg.levelsScoresData.insert(Reg.level, Reg.scoreLevel);
	
	//estrellas
	var st1 = "on";
	var st2 = "off";
	var st3 = "off";
	if (Reg.coinsCollected >= Reg.totalCoins)
	{
		st2 = "on";
	}
	if (Reg.timePlayingLevel <= Reg.timeGoalLevel)
	{
		st3 = "on";
	}
	Reg.levelsStarsData.insert(Reg.level, [st1, st2, st3]);
	
	FlxG.save.data.lastLevelCompleted = Reg.lastLevelUnlocked;
	FlxG.save.data.levelsScoresData = Reg.levelsScoresData;
	FlxG.save.data.levelsStarsData = Reg.levelsStarsData;
	FlxG.save.flush();
	
	FlxG.log.add("saved");
}

I got no problem with that. (neko)
Try testing with only one variable.

The problem was with this line:

trace("delete save" + FlxG.save.erase());

I deleted it and it works fine now.
