How do you determine which files are a part of a plugin?

I’ve installed a few plugins and removed them. I’d like to clean them up. How do you determine which files are a part of a plugin?

#2

Are you using UI5 or UI7?

#3

If you look inside the user_data.json file (Which is a large data structure) you will find which files are associated with a plugin that is downloaded from the APP store … If you just load files … it will not know what they are related to.

You can access the user_data.json file from ssh (you will need to decompress it first) there are threads on this.

Or access it from the browser as:

http://Your.Vera.IP.Address:3480/data_request?id=user_data

Using UI7

Rex,

Do the plugins have to be installed to be seen in the file?

#5

Yes, the user_data.json contains ALL of the user specific configuration information … including details about installed plugins.
If you uninstall plugins … the files are left on your Vera … but will not be shown in this file.
Also … standard Vera files will not be listed there.

Thanks Richard

If you have installed all apps/plugins through the App Store and not manually, if you delete them, they will automatically be downloaded on next restart.

Of course manually uploaded files will not.

Brientim - You mean if the plugin is still installed and the files are deleted correct?

If the plugin has been uninstalled deleting the files should work???

Correct … that’s why Vera keeps track of the files for installed plugins … so it can restore them if they are deleted.

Thanks to you both!
