Cleaning up my hard drive

rburgh · 10-15-2023, 11:43 AM

My computer saves a LOT of game files to my saved games folder. But it also saves set roster files and start files for my PT teams. Also, the saved games files appear to get randomly assigned filenames, rather than sequential ones. So the most recent game files aren't easy to segregate when I go to delete the game files to save space on my hard drive.

Is there an easy way for me to delete these without messing up my current teams?

Is this in addition to the "delete old PT and tournament files" found in Perfect Team Settings?

You can delete the "local" files for all PT leagues, even the current week (or tournaments in progress or anything). The game will simply re-download new versions of any files it needs.

Why doesn't OOTP not delete these old PT files itself?

And can we get them put into a folder that's not the same as the folder our solo leagues get saved to?

Been asking that question for years, and I'm not alone. It's a great idea.
