# Persistent Storage

## Persistence

The WiFi Pineapple Enterprise features a small, persistent storage directory which is preserved across updates.

This directory is mounted at `/.persistence`

This can be used to store configuration files and scripts, and is used when `PERSIST_CONFIG=1` is set in a [device config file](/wifi-pineapple-enterprise/setup/setup-by-usb-disk.md).

## Persistent Device Configs

On first boot after a flash, the WiFi Pineapple Enterprise will check for an attached USB drive with a `config.txt` file; if it does not find one, it will check `/.persistence/config.txt` for a configuration file, and apply it if found.

To disable a persistent device configuration, simply remove the `/.persistence/config.txt` file via web shell or ssh.
