Might be the dumb question of the day, but I am assuming that the only way to clear the persistent storage in a Simulator is to stop the Simulator, run clean on the Simulator and start the Simulator back up again?

Or is there a neat trick to test persistent storage that doesn't require a restart cycle of a Simulator?

I want to:

1. Run my app.
2. Check persistent storage.
3. If it's wrong, clear persistent storage.
4. Run my app. again.

Thanks,

Hi

You can also clean persistent storage in a Simulator without run clean.bat.

In eclipse menu ,click on blackberry ->; Erase simulator file.

Hope this help

Thanks for the tip rrr_04.. I like getting little tips like this.  Kudos to you :-)

Which BlackBerry icon do I click on to get the correct Eclipse context menu?

I cannot find the Erase simulator file option.

Look under "Project" --> "BlackBerry" -- "Clean Simulator..."  at the bottom of the menu.

The only options I have in the Clean Simulator dialog window are:

BlackBerry JRE 5.0.0

• Remove Applications
• Remove Files from the File System
• Remove Files from the SD Card
• Reset Security Settings

These options can only be ran when the Simulator is not running. I was looking for an option to erase persistent storage while the Simulator is running.

Because you want to clear persistent storage, you want to clear the .dmp files (i.e. Remove Files from the File System).  So put a check mark on that option and click OK.

I didn't read your message very well, my bad.  I guess if you can't clear the storage when the simulator is running then this won't help.

Just to add that on Windows 7 64-bit the clean simulator method does not clean my persistent storage. To clean it I have to delete the entire contents of: C:\Users\<username>\net\rim\fledge-2. 

This completely resets the simulator to default settings.
