Maps: Managing Hard Drive Space

[Taz]

The Caucasus map occupies 15.1 GIG on my hard drive. Can I delete it to regain space since I mainly use Nevada and Persian Gulf maps only?

I'm not at my PC so can't check, but have you tried looking at the module manager on the games main menu screen? I deleted Normandy a few days ago, maybe the option to delete Caucasus is also there.

I tried that, all it does is disable the map, it doesn't remove any files from the hard drive.

before you delete read up mklink using DOS prompt. if you have secondary drive you'll move the file there and link it back to the game folder. the game will see it like it's still in the game folder

Thanks Revs, good idea ... I checked out mklink and this: https://itask.software/blog/easiest-method-create-symlink-symbolic/

 

Makes me a little nervous to download unknown software though.

just move the map to other drive and see whats happens and if you ahve only one then delete it (if downloading 15gb isnt an issue- dont worry, you wobnt break anything)

You looked at a wrong one. Mklink is built in windows.
