Clearing android market data

[jerethi]

Does anyone know whether clearing the android market data (rather than simply clearing the cache) will cause damage or do anything bad to the android market app? Does anyone know what it will even do?

In my experience all it does is clear your searches and forces you to accept the Market TOS gain, it doesn't affect your installed apps or anything like that.

Thanks for the reply. So, in the case where the market is not showing an update for a particular app, despite the fact that you know for a fact there is one, you don't think that clearing the market data will cause it to "see" that there is in fact an update?
