How to prevent yeoman from sending anonymous stati

Question

When the message came up about whether to send anonymous information, I accidentally hit the enter key defaulting to "yes". Now everytime I reinstall/fully remove then install node/yo or execute the yo command, it no longer asks. Is there some file or setting that is hidden in the filesystem that I can manually change such that I do not send anonymous usage statistics to yeoman? is there a configuration file or setting? It is unsettling to know that my usage statistics may be sent while I do not want it to...

Answer 1

The optOut option is kept in insight-yo.yml, which should be in ~\.config\configstore

Just update the false value to true and you should be done.

Alternatively, if you delete that file, you'll be presented with the option again and you can answer No manually there.
