Do not clean or rebuild the solution. Just build and deploy the app after making changes. It will update your app and keep previous data in IsolatedStorage.
If that is not possible, you can use IsolatedStoargeExplorer tool. Take a snapshot of your IsolatedStorage before installing the update. Then after installing the update, replace the IsolatedStorage content with the backed up data.
You can take the backup as:
ISETool.exe ts <xd|de> <product-id> <desktop-path>
and then replace it as
ISETool.exe rs <xd|de> <product-id> <desktop-path>
