>>> [!note] Migrated issue <!-- Drupal.org comment --> <!-- Migrated from issue #3390196. --> Reported by: [charginghawk](https://www.drupal.org/user/2626341) >>> <h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3> <p>To identify config files that have been deleted, config_auto_export adds a period to the beginning of the file. This hides the files on most systems unless you specifically look for hidden files, and doesn't clearly identify the files as to be deleted.</p> <h3 id="summary-proposed-resolution">Proposed resolution</h3> <p>Add "delete!" to the start of filenames that should be deleted. This will let users know what will happen to these files, and the exclamation point will prevent name conflicts with config from modules with names that start with "delete." </p> <h3 id="summary-remaining-tasks">Remaining tasks</h3> <p>TBD</p> <h3 id="summary-api-changes">API changes</h3> <p>Files that will be deleted will no longer begin with periods.</p>
