Does local storage get deleted when a user updates my app?

Solution

The answer is no!

Don't worry when user updates an app, the local and roaming folders/settings won't get wiped out.

Problem

I have a windows 8 app (Digital Nightstand) in the windows 8 appstore. The app stores user preferences in XML files on the user's machine, also known as local storage. What I want to know is that if I release an update for my app and the users take the update, will the existing stored settings be wiped out?
