Backups

[Airwolf466]

Hello, I currently have 2.5.6 and am considering going back to 2.7. HDD space is an issue. I remember reading something about DCS backups, and I do have 60GB plus in 6 backups from the same date. The question is, will DCS run if I delete them?

Also, if it is ok to remove them, can I simply delete thee folders or is there some process that needs to be done

Thanks

DCS doesn't have auto backups, so I'm assuming the backups you mentioned are ones you made? If that's so feel free to delete them.

Best way to test whether or not DCS will run without them is to rename them or, better yet, just change the file suffix and start DCS. If it starts and runs fine, then you can delete them. I think the files you’re referring to are from either repairs or, perhaps, updates that save old files in case you wish to use them again.
