Otherwise, you can clear them out by going to the player search+shortlist off the manager menu, searching for the unknowns, and then mass selecting and deleting (you may need to use secondary filters if there's too many). Once you have the players deleted, you may need to run a purge from the database menu to actually reclaim the space (may also need to save and load the game between those steps depending how close to the limits you are).

Doing all that can clear out a massive chunk of space. I can't say that every out of memory league is running into the same issues, but for that one posted to us at least, this would help a lot.
Yep. We did this yesterday with our file and it had over 200,000 Jim Unknowns. Was crazy. Had to use a secondary filter that went off of player ID. Haven't been on OOTP much since to see if the crashing is as rampant, but i see no way that this wouldn't be a large help.
