Marcq Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Does it free up some space on my hard drive and can it be retrieved? Marc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draconus Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 It deletes the files from the disc, so yes, free up the space. If you want to retrieve it, just go the module manager again and it will remind you of what you have left not installed yet.

Actually it saved only 600mb on the disk when I trashed the Viggen, i"m sure it should be more then that Marc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcq Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 Interesting!!! No wonder it took me 3 days to download the Persian Gulf Map Thanks for sharing Marc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyk Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 The space comparison is really interesting. I use TreeSize Free for something similar, it lists folders and subfolders regarding percentage of space used. I noticed how relatively lot of space is consumed by Mig-21 liveries in core mods, and that graphical interpretation shows it as well, did you notice? Is that texture quality difference noticeable in game? My skins on DCS User Files, Enjoy! ________________________________ FC3, Mi-8, UH-1, CA, L-39, AV-8B, F-14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenkom Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Even if you delete the module a large part will still remain so that they can appear in missions. The game still needs textures, sounds, animations, flightmodel etc. for every plane including the models you don’t have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used it for a while, but I liked this one better as its graphic representation really highlights where are the space huggers :) Even if you delete the module a large part will still remain so that they can appear in missions.

True, that part is stored on the Bazar and CoreMods folders .. the space on the Aircrafts folder is the one freed when you trash a Module.
