The Uninstall Old Versions Question

Larryk007 · 09-02-2025, 09:30 PM

I have migrated my game version to OOTP26 (each year a new migration).

So, is it time to uninstall the past versions?

I see no need for them.

Entirely up to you. Do you need the hard drive space? At least keep the most recent version in case you need the old saved leagues to import to the latest version. Some people keep playing multiple versions.

I delete them every years but everything I have bought since OOTP15 is on Steam, so in case of emergency a previous version is easy to bring back... The hard disk on my new computer is 1To but it was less than half of that on my last one so it was a question of space.

I do make backups of the .lg files as well as the various image files (logos, jerseys, caps) just in case I discover a need to ever go back and find those. Easy to reinstall the game and look something up this way.
