MrDieing Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Yes, DCS is a really big install. Mine is about twice that size, it really depends on what addons and maps you have installed, especially maps can take up quite a big amount of space. One thing I find is that the Multiplayer Tracks take up quite some space after time, so I delete those every now and then to save a few gigs.

Art-J Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 If there's a sub-folder called "_downloads" in the main game folder, you can delete contents of it as well (these are temporary installation files and normally they should be deleted by installer but sometimes are left there). That being said, with barebones DCSW with nothing but free content already taking about 75-80 gigs of space, purchasing new modules will make the folder grow fast. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

Thanks for the tip about the "Downloads" folder. I'm new to the game and found that my folder was close to 12 GB. Had leftovers from a few planes, but mainly the maps that I bought. I moved the file first, just to make sure there would be no problems removing them, but the game works perfectly, so I can now delete them. Hmm, now I have room for more modules...
