Potential Problem - DCS storing files and using HDD space

[Hawkeye_UK]

Interesting one my m2 SSD has been getting smaller - its not the multiplayer track files this time (which i clear out) however after painstaking going through my PC i find 75GB of data in C:\Users"my name"\AppData\Local\Temp\DCS.openbeta ! Having a look at this data its all ogg files, png files from old missions even but basically every time i play its storing something in this directory. Can you check your file path and see if the same - literally losing 20% of my HD on this. Need to know if safe to remove? There is literally 100's of the same server briefing pages in png format also in here. What's also interesting is that windows disk clean up lists 78Gb of temp files to be removed, 75Gb is this folder listed above. I thought temp folders should be cleaned out by the software? Windows when running the clean up for some reason wont remove the DCS created files.

 

Note this is in addition to my 182GB main DCS Open Beta folder.

 

Safe to select all and delete in this folder, what causing this?

My directory is different. Windows C / Users / Default.migrated / AppData / Local . No DCS folder in there and no AppData or Local folder under "My Name".

Once you get to local, there should be a folder in there called temp - then in there is where the DCS open beta folder temp folder is - check back to my original path in the post as in the \local there will be no DCS, its within the subfolder of temp after that position. thanks

I have no DCS.openbeta folder in there, just a "DCS" (file path = C:\Users"name"\AppData\Local\Temp\DCS)

it has a size of 33.2MB.
