Spatial Anchors - how to view/delete in profile/privacy

I am saving Spatial Anchors to my cloud profile. I am storing their UUIDs separately and trying to remember to clean them up. But I'm worried sometimes I am losing the UUID and accidentally leaving anchors in my cloud storage. They are about 2.5MB each.

Will they expire on their own? Can I see what is stored under my profile somehow?

      Ok - just over 24 hours later. For my un-shared anchor stored both locally and in the cloud... the cloud anchor worked all day today until the 24 hours was up and then stopped loading. The local anchor was available all day and did NOT stop loading after 24 hours.

       

      So - regardless of whether you share it or not, if you store it in the cloud its only valid for 24 hours. If you store it locally its only available to you, but it persists until you delete it (assumedly... time will confirm that hypothesis), clear the app data, or delete the app.

      JeffNik while I have you, do you ever have problems saving your anchors to the cloud? OVRSpatialAnchor.SaveAsync (and Save) sometimes returns 'false' for me. There is no other information returned. I logcat I see ERROR_CLOUD_MAP_UPLOAD_TIMEOUT or ERROR_CLOUD_MAP_UPLOAD_FAILED. But this sometimes happens even over a good WiFi connection?

      I can't think of a time my calls to SaveAsync have failed, at least without me being able to find a bad input parameter, or some required previous step that I forget. BUT - I just "hobby" around... meaning once I see it work, I tend to abandon it and move on to learning the next cool feature. LOL - in other words, It's possible I just haven't made enough good calls in total to actually see it fail for bad communication. Sorry I'm not more help there.
