Making the League File smaller

Ok, so a friend and I play a league and send the file back and forth. The league is approaching the 20th season so the file is getting pretty big, I know there are ways to make it smaller but I'm just wondering which things I can get rid of when transferring the file to him.

Store the ALMANAC years in a separate file and back it up somehwere. Also, remove the LEAGUE_NEWS_BOX and the PHOTOS folder from inside the league file before zipping it. The file size will be reduced considerably. To export your team to your commissioner you don't need any of those folders inside the league file.

Remove all but the current sims box scores (and game logs). Also remove all but the current messages. Another big space saver is to remove all the p*.html files (the game will regenerate them as needed anyways). You can also remove the retired.dat for the zip (just include it at the beginning and end of each season)
