When you open a ROM in SkyTemple, the app will create a directory next to the ROM file, it is named the same as the ROM file suffixed with ".skytemple". This directory can safely be deleted and is not needed to play the ROM, ''however'' it contains information that is very useful for editing the game. This includes the source code for all [[Script|scripts]] you edited and macro files. If you delete the directory SkyTemple will decompile scripts again, which leaves them in a rather unreadable state and removes all comments you made.

To share the ROM Hack / mod you made, save the ROM in SkyTemple and create a patch file from your game based on a clean copy of the original game ROM. You don't need to share the project directory. '''Never''' share the ".nds" file itself, only patch files. See the [[Frequently Asked Questions#How do I test later dungeons in the game.3F Can I jump ahead in the story.3F|FAQ]] for more information.
