How to delete shared preferences data from App in Android
To remove specific values: SharedPreferences.Editor.remove() followed by a commit()
To remove them all SharedPreferences.Editor.clear()
followed by a commit()
If you don't care about the return value and you're using this from your application's main thread, consider using apply()
instead.
My solution:
SharedPreferences preferences = getSharedPreferences("Mypref", 0);
preferences.edit().remove("text").commit();
Removing all preferences:
SharedPreferences settings = context.getSharedPreferences("PreferencesName", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
settings.edit().clear().commit();
Removing single preference:
SharedPreferences settings = context.getSharedPreferences("PreferencesName", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
settings.edit().remove("KeyName").commit();
If it's not necessary to be removed every time, you can remove it manually from:
Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications -> (choose your app) -> Clear data or Uninstall
Newer versions of Android:
Settings -> Applications -> (choose your app) -> Storage -> Clear data and Clear cache
