Hey all,

I just recently came across the concept of these megamods and I'm now happily playing an installation without any problems (*knocks wood*). However, the BG2 folder is now at a rather massive 10,2 GBs and so I was wondering whether some of these files could be removed; I'm assuming the various setup exe/tp2/debug's can be deleted, but I'm not so sure about the different folders.

My apologies if this has been discussed already, search tools rarely agree with me. :crying:

Safely, only the "mod".exe's.

But if you are totally secure that your installation works as it should and you won't need to reinstall anything, you can delete all the files that come with the mod, as they are writen into the override folder. So all the folder's that have the mod name, the .tp2's and the .exe's and the .debug's, that is if you will not reinstall or make any adjustment's later on, even thought without the reinstall's the game might crash because of a bugs.

Ah might as well keep em then, it's not like it's a pressing need anyway, just like to keep my HD tidy and free of clutter.
