Can I delete or uninstall DCS after copying to SSD

[tmansteve]

I copied my DCS to my new SSD a while ago, I was about to delete the old one but stopped myself as not sure. Can I get rid of my original install as it hasn't been updated for so long now. I have found the registry path etc so I can change that if required. I noticed that the version was 1.5.

 

 

Also, it is in the programs and features as DCS World 1.5. I have made a backup of Saved Games folder as well.

 

 

Should I Uninstall or Delete the folder?????

Hi

 

You can uninstall if you wish but bare in mind this will also remove any shortcuts you have.

 

if you just delete it, you can modify any shortcuts to point to the new location.

 

Always a good idea to make a backup of your dcs folder in saved games, however dcs will not delete this.

 

Hope that helps

Thanks for help. I have shortcuts from ssd. The original hasn't been updated for a year as don't use it.

 

So if I uninstall, will dcs boot up ok with new shortcut from ssd?

 

If it will not, I will just delete it.

If you have a new shortcut yes it will be fine.
