Is there a LUA command to empty a quicksave slot? If not, please make one.

Some recipes store many intermediate steps in quicksave slots. With 100 quicksave slots available for solos and 100 more available for evo's for each Foldit Puzzle on each Foldit client, this can use up a lot of space on a player's hard drive. Is there a LUA command that can be run within a Foldit recipe to empty a specified quicksave slot? If not, please make one.

Thanks!

You can safely delete any files named 'quicksave.' in your foldit 'puzzles' directory tree in Microsoft Windows. Do note that this may also delete files in your current puzzle so you may want to do this when no foldit client is running.

In Microsoft Windows you can use this in your foldit directory in a CMD window:

del quicksave*.* /S

This recipe assigns current solution to all used slots:

You might want to assign anything else (for example puzzle.StartOver())
I don't know how we could make a slot empty.

Adding a dialog in the rcipe, it's possible to assign a choosen solution to a specified (non empty) slot
