What League Files Can I Delete?

manooly · 01-10-2022, 09:20 AM

Hello there! I currently play OOTP22 between a desktop PC and a laptop. I'm constantly zipping up the league and copying it over to the other machine. I'm in year 18 and my zip file is approaching 600MB and takes a while to zip up and unpack. I'm just curious as to what files I can delete that won't effect me too much?

The way I sim it looks like I have a ton of box scores I don't need. I really don't need all of the news stories from years ago either. Can you point me directly to which directories I can find files I can get rid of to make my process of zipping and unzipping faster? Are there any other files I could get rid of? Any info/feedback is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your time!

The world.dat file is technically all you need to move back and forth.

You may be missing out on some cosmetics if the other machine doesn't have all of the logos, etc. in the right places but all your league data and history will be in tact with just the world.dat.
