If you want to clean your Geometrie folder, you can try what I do; although it will take a while. I zip each folder and then delete the files. As I go to a prop or character, clothing, etc., Posr will ask for the obj. file. I open the zipped file and extract only what is needed for the file. This way if I don't use a file any longer, or not very often, the file takes up much less space, and you may be surprised the number of files your hard drive won't have to scan simply because they aren't showing in the directory. I do this for most of my Librarie files also. If I need a file for clothing or a character, once I have created the character I then delete the files until the next time. Remember, use the directories seldom used. I wouldn't imagine someone wanting to keep their directory zipped that contains V3 or other files used almost daily. Try this; I have gained several GB of space, of course there are many less files to worry about. If after a few weeks or months, If I haven't used the file or directory, I put it on a CD. Dutchman.
