XF 2.3 will xenforo upgrades ever clean out forum/internal_data

[tenants]

For a plugin, I want to store some data files there, but I don't want it easily accessible (apart from via php)

so if I have a folder

forum/internal_data/someaddon_data/files/0/1-3b843433711c03c8ff47a6e29309d0d0.txt


These files wont get cleaned up / deleted by xenforo upgrades will they?


[
I also add a htraccess "Order deny,allow Deny from all" in forum/internal_data/someaddon_data/
(but that might be unecssary, since I see one at forum/internal_data/
]

The data and internal_data directories are not included in the upgrade archive and aren't touched during upgrades.

Rule # 29

File system operations must use the XF file system (which uses "FlySystem") particularly for files hosted in data, internal_data or code_cache directories.
