What's the easiest file cleanup on a large save when converting to a quickstart?

I'm trying to prevent MyWorld from being bloated in file size, but know the longer it goes, the bigger it gets, the larger it will be. I did a file cleanup on the previous quickstart. I remember somebody going "dang Chance, that's like 15 GB once you unpack it. That's a long time to download, unpack, install, etc."

Well, I found A way.

Either I am slower than Christmas, or I have never asked anyone out of stubborness and whatnot. So, I went into the main folder. I deleted the files in the auto-save, backup, and the incident folders. These were the league files being copied and the what not.

This removed roughly 11GB of bulk. The new 2008 zip file is less than 10GB. The 2009? I am hoping around 10-12 GB.

Impressive, I've never thought of this either, but makes sense
