Now ALL my flash SOLs (saves) are (again) gone....
"Do You want to clear cookies?" is such an unfair and misguiding message.
Why couldn't they wrote: "Are You absolutely sure You want to delete all Your cookies, flash SOL's including all Your game saves? And since we're already there .. would You like to format Your system partition as well?"
Mozilla/Adobe I hate You. Recuva refused to undelete 90% back, excluding some tracking ****.
Such a basic mistake You might say.. but I feel so sad now.
@gaboloth Does Chrome really do that? I tested Chrome and it seems that it uses same SOL's location as all activex/mozilla Flash Players.
Starting with Flash 10.3 whenever cookies are deleted by supported browser (supported on IE8+, Fx4+, Chrome11+) Flash should wipe out SOLs as well. Yep it does that from my experience.
The SOL saves are stored in LSO (Super) Cookies. Until recently browsers could not delete these cookies without extensions or special programs. Unfortunately, LSO cookies can hold very large amounts of data and never expire, which can pose a security threat and overtime drag down performance. Recently, browsers have gained the ability to delete these cookies, so yes now your "cookies" also include your precious saves. Solutions? Hypothetically, although I haven't tried it, just copy and save your saves somewhere else before you delete your cookies and then put them back after. Also the Firefox add-on "Better Privacy" can allow you to manage them, delete them individually, or protect them.
