Deleting backup files

Jeff1787 · 03-26-2008, 03:34 PM

Is it OK to delete the backup files that are stored in the My Documents folder?

In my case in is the file...My Documents/OOTP/TBCB 2.5/SavedGames/Gangs of New York/backup_2088_then a bunch of numbers.

I have several of these files.

I think it only saves the last 8 or so and then overwrites them but I'm not 100% sure on that.

Other people must have the same files on their computer????

I was wrong about 8 ... I have 10 of them. It is okay to delete them but there really isn't a need to as they well overwrite each other and 10 should be the most you have.
