ckp Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I have almost 3GB of LB exe files in my Launchbox\Updates folder. It looks like they might be LB installers of the past. Is it safe to go ahead and delete ALL of them? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SentaiBrad Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I would sort them by date and keep the last 1 or 2, just in case, cause you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckp Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 You never know what? Are you saying these files are indeed various LB installer versions? I wiped them all out because I am happy on my current version, and I have a couple installers in my Dropbox anyway. But I do think that is a good idea.

SentaiBrad Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Yea, every time you update a version gets kept in that updates folder just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fursphere Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Bumping an old thread because it seems vary relevant. I just checked my /updates/ folder and its 17 GB in size! Would it be possible to add in a automatic cleanup routine? (maybe with an automatic roll back option as well, if you're going to keep a few older installers around? although I have never had to roll back.) My folder has a whole bunch of named installers (LaunchBox-7.10-beta-2-Setup.exe for example), then a bunch of GUID based files (e4fb21bf-803e-4977-bb89-666cc2eceb3c.exe for example). I'm assuming these are all safe to delete? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckp Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 they are safe to delete. and the copies should be limited to never exceeding 2-4 files in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Yep safe to delete, I personally always keep the last stable and the last beta though just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Also the ones with the long codes are just very old updates from before they were specifically named with the version No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Yeah those with the long and stupid names are old and very much safe to delete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fursphere Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Awesome, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
