galevsky06 Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) Hello, I developped a small tool to clean up the DCS-related content: DCS Cleaner When you fly, a lot of files are generated and you loose free space for files that you just want to delete for most of them. For screenshots, you can choose between "keep last month/week files" and "delete all". But only files in the root directory of screenshots are deleted, so if you have ./anyFolder/*.jpg content, they won't be deleted. I will publish it soon with automated installer, if useful to others. (freeware of course) I have a question: is it a problem if I re-use the DCS original Icon: Edited September 5, 2013 by galevsky06 3

galevsky06 Posted September 5, 2013 Author Posted September 5, 2013 SSD Friendly ? Why this soft has to be SSD friendly ? Both DCS and Tacview generate files. If you consider these Mo then Go useless, just delete them. If you don't, keep them. But if you keep these files on your SSD even if you consider them as useless, you make me laught: you don't want to loose your disk but you prevent you from using all that space :D
galevsky06 Posted September 5, 2013 Author Posted September 5, 2013 I have a question: is it a problem if I re-use the DCS original Icon: Still waiting for my answer....

St3v3f Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 To find what kind of files St3v3f ? Temporary ones. Useless stuff that can occupy quite a significant amount of space if you never clear it. aka: Baron [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
galevsky06 Posted September 6, 2013 Author Posted September 6, 2013 Temporary ones. Useless stuff that can occupy quite a significant amount of space if you never clear it. Ok, but it is a normal folder for temp. data, containing different knid of files, and I cannot delete them safely. (ED can add/remove stuff and so on). v1.0 version published here soon already exists and has been tested from July by my Wing. No diff expected since no issue with that version.
Python Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 you make me laught: you don't want to loose your disk but you prevent you from using all that space :D Yes would have sufficed. I don't understand exactly what the software does, Thanks though. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
galevsky06 Posted September 6, 2013 Author Posted September 6, 2013 This light utility aims at deleting DCS files and Tacview ACMI files. Both DCS World & Tacview generate a huge amount of files, and disk space decrease seriously along with flights. The only way to get your space back is repetitive manual deletion, or personnal script. Best choice is DCS Cleaner.
