Liveries taking up too much space for planes I don't even own.

[MoCluck]

My DCS HDD is so full i cannot update the game and play it. Liveries for the F14 and F4 take up 34Gb of space between them. I don't even own these planes. This is a bit ridiculous. Is there a way to safely remove the liveries and not crash the game or move them to another drive?

@MoCluck Oh, another Treesize user!  

You can safely delete them, but they will just be downloaded again. (Have a look at the latest wishlist thread, and give your opinions there). 

What you can do is move coremods to another disk, and just make a symbolic link back to the main folder. Many users have done this with maps when their disk gets full. My DCS installation is ≈1TB.

There's even a shell extension you can use, which makes it all easy through a GUI. I know some other people are using even easier software to do this. The name escapes me though. 

Cheers!
