Duplicating nodes on S3 about gun HOT 3 CLOSED

Per the sync protocol being based on immutable data, gun core is not allowed to delete data (only null it out). And because gun is fault tolerant, you can only successfully actually delete data if you purge the data from every peer and every storage layer. It is recommended that you just "forget" (de-reference) nodes, rather than delete them.

If you do something like var foo = gun.set({foo: 'bar'}).key('foo'); and then later do foo.set({yay: 'pancakes'}); these updates merge as partials. GUN should not be duplicating that node, because its soul is what it is actually identified by.

If you mean something like gun.set({foo: 'bar'}).key('foo'); and then later "gun.set({something: 'else}).key('foo');` then you're just overwriting the key to point to a new node.

However, I don't feel like I understand your question? Could you show an example of what you are talking about? And what you thought was the suppose to be the results?

This: "It is recommended that you just "forget" (de-reference) nodes, rather than delete them." answered my question. Thank you! ps: sorry about my noob questions, I've just started experimenting with Gun..

:) I'd rather have people asking questions than... people not asking at all.
