### Resetting the Telemetry System
This application includes a telemetry system which is only active if the user opts in. When testing this system, it's
sometimes helpful to reset it by deleting the `telemetry.json` file.
The location of this file depends on your operating system and whether or not you're running a packaged build. Running
from `npm start` or equivalent is a non-packaged build.
In addition, macOS may store the file in one of two places depending on the OS version and a few other variables. If
in doubt, I recommend removing both.
- Windows, packaged build: `%APPDATA%\Scratch\telemetry.json`
- Windows, non-packaged: `%APPDATA%\Electron\telemetry.json`
- macOS, packaged build: `~/Library/Application Support/Scratch/telemetry.json` or
`~/Library/Containers/edu.mit.scratch.scratch-desktop/Data/Library/Application Support/Scratch/telemetry.json`
- macOS, non-packaged build: `~/Library/Application Support/Electron/telemetry.json` or
`~/Library/Containers/edu.mit.scratch.scratch-desktop/Data/Library/Application Support/Electron/telemetry.json`
Deleting this file will:
- Remove any pending telemetry packets
- Reset the opt in/out state: the app should display the opt in/out modal on next launch
- Remove the random client UUID: the app will generate a new one on next launch
