Are any data stored on local PC with Eclipse/ADT ABAP projects?

[TMNielsen]

Hi

I'm deleting an ADT project from eclipse and wonder why it asks me if I want to "Delete project contents on disk (cannot be undone).

Of course I want to delete the project and not leave any garbage data on my PC, but on the other hand I don't understand what data can be stored in semanticfs:/DEV_EN_1.

Will I loose important info if I chose to delete content on disk?

Kind regards

Hi Thomas,

you can safely delete the data on disk.

This data comprises a local cache of development objects from the ABAP backend that you have worked with, as well as project-specific client preferences such as configured feeds in the feed reader, ABAP repository trees in the project explorer, debugging settings, etc.

semanticfs: is the virtual Eclipse file system implementation used by ADT to handle the caching of development objects from the ABAP backend (its actual location on disk is within your Eclipse workspace).

Best regards,

Sebastian
