Solved Deleting old user data?

so recently i haven't been able to open my oxide.users.data file through my servers control panel as the file is way to big to open and edit through my servers control panel. when i edit it on my desktop i have noticed there is a load of this (see screen shot below) and i am wondering what is causing this. when i try and go to the steam profile that is linked with the steam ID's they just come up blank.

so then my question is how do i go about stopping my server add these random junk users to the file and am i able to just delete all of these and upload the file back into the server?

i have attached my actual oxide.users.data file for anyone to have a look at and see my problem of having tons of these junk users to say in the file.

 

anyway i can get rid of these junk users then?

 

Stop server delete file restart server it will make a new one

 

is there any plugins out there atm that can handle it? as i have no experience at all towards coding a plugin

 

As you have so many unnamed users it is best to delete the file when server is offline

 

i might just give deleting the file and giving my players all there perms back then, sounds like the easier thing to do.

also do you have any idea what could be causing the file to have so many unnamed players?

 

at most i have around 15 people on at a time and its never really that popular so i feel like it has to be something else due to the fact that there is hundreds of unnamed players must be something else

 

It wont cause any problems with your server leaving it the way it is but if you want to clean it up then deleting it is the best way to go and download the file to your desktop so you can see what needs added but I find its best to add permissions to the group not the user

 

yeah ive figured this, its the fact that for some reason through my server provides console i am not able to edit/view any files that are on the server that are over a certain size this being one of them which is why i brought this up

 

Just download to desktop open in notepad++ then you will see who has what permission so you can readd them to the new file with rcon commands

 

i intend to do this now some time soon! and i hope that i dont get hundreds of unnamed players again
