I recently upgraded my project to Mono For Android v4.2. With this update, when ever I deploy my app to my device, all files I’ve previously created in the directory returned by GetExternalFilesDir(“db”) are deleted. I don’t want this behavior. The previous version of M4A I was using did not do this unwanted behavior.

Should I be using a different Method to get a directory to store my files in? I have seen getExternalStorageDirectory() suggested but I don’t even see that method available in Mono For Android.

I want this behavior: I want these files to be deleted when the user truly unisntalls my app, but I don’t want them deleted if it’s just installing an update.

Thanks,
