Project sandbox in WP8?

My app is writing json files in the cache folder. I need to manually edit those files in order to easily test if a bug still exists. Can I get access to the sandbox folder in the WP8 simulator? I cannot find an “Open project sandbox” option in the WP8 simulator.

I’ve figured it out there’s “Isolated Storage Explorer”. A commandline tool that allows you to go through the device’s isolated storage, on a per app basis. Check out the official MS info: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh286408(v=vs.105).aspx

It is not an easy way to get what you want. You need to find and then to copy-paste the GUID value of your app ID from clip-board to the console. You can find it in the WMAppManifest.xml, but it works. There are also some GUI tools instead, they are mentioned at the bottom of this article. A bit messy but once you’ve created some batch files that do the magic for you, it’s doable.
