thanks so much, this worked perfectly.

For reference, for my k8s setup I had to put this in singleuser section of values.yaml

```auto
singleuser:
   extraFiles:
     jupyter_server_config.json:
         mountPath: /usr/local/etc/jupyter/jupyter_server_config.json
         data:
            ContentsManager:
              allow_hidden: true
            FileContentsManager:
              always_delete_dir: true

```
