Hello I wanted to reload PlaceHolder API Files. So I was going to delete the file, but I was wondering if when I redownload it if the placeholders I have will still be there for scoreboards and such?

If you replace the jar, your expansions will stay.
If you delete the folder, your expansions will be deleted as well (they're saved in a subfolder called expansions)

it's the expansion for the Vault plugin

#

your Vault plugin is in your plugins folder

warm jolt
#

oh ok

#

no

#

the expansion is only a bridge between the Vault plugin and the PlaceholderAPI plugin

#

and Vault itself is a bridge between your economy plugin and all other plugins that want to access players' money and permissions/groups

no

#

expansions provide the placeholders

#

no expansion = no placeholder

#

oh

#

unless the expansion is built within the plugin, which some plugin do, but isn't the case for Vault

warm jolt
#

oh

#

hmmm ok so don't delete my placeholderAPI Files if I want to keep my placeholders

file or folder?

when you download PlaceholderAPI for the first time, you wouldn't have downloaded any expansions yet right?

#

so the folder remains empty until you download expansions
