I'm using an HashTable inside a PodeState. There is a way to remove a key from the PodeState?

Hi gents,
I have a question regarding PodeState.
Everything working great but there is a thing that I want to implement, and I have some troubles.
I want to remove a key with the associated value
I create the podState with a code similar to this

  $Scripts = (Get-PodeState -Name 'Data') 
  $Scripts.scripts += @{"$($Script.id)" = $Script } 
  # save the state to file
   Save-PodeState -Path $using:ScripsJsonData 

what I want to do is to remove one element from $Scripts.scripts

Hi @mdaneri,

It appears that $Scripts.scripts is a hashtable? If so, then if you know the $Script.id the following will remove an item:

$Scripts.scripts.Remove($Script.id)

doesn't work

I solved the mystery. I was initializing the hashtable like an array.
it had a strange structure.
Set-PodeState -Name 'Data' -Value @{'scripts' = @(); 'scriptId' = 0 } | Out-Null
instead of
Set-PodeState -Name 'Data' -Value @{'scripts' = @{}; 'scriptId' = 0 } | Out-Null
