Removing live variables

[robbelcham]

I added some live variables in a previous debug session and now whenever I start debugging again (even after Visual Studio has been closed) the same live variables appear and each time I delete them but they keep coming back when I launch a debug session. Is there a way to remove them permanently ?

Hi,

The live variables are normally stored in the .vgdbsettings.user files. Perhaps your file is not writable and VisualGDB cannot update it properly? Either way, you can delete the file to reset all per-user settings like live variables.

Thanks, I figured as much and removed them.

 

Perhaps the reason it can’t remove them automatically is that the settings file is stored on an ubuntu vm running as a virtual box  guest within windows and mounted in via samba ?

Hi,

Yes, it could be that some access control settings were interfering with saving the changes. If you encounter further problems, feel free to open another topic.
