This is what I do to slim the fat. I recently cleared 10 gigs off my drive Below are files to look for and possibly delete that we all tend to accumulate. Look at the paths and be sure you know what you are getting rid of. Proceed at your own risk. Search your hard drive for: File Formats -------------------------------- *.BUM (The most evil of files hogging memory. If you have Propack or P5 considering why you are still keeping these. *.mtl (if you export alot you may have hundred of these around your drive) If you don't use em, delete em. *.avi (ditch those old test animations) *.mpeg (delete the porn and music) *.mp3 (delete the porn and music) *.bmp (If you have templates you really are never going to use, delete them) *.tiff (Delete the stray crap) *.rsr(delete only those in geometry folders. if you don't use old stuff, Poser can make new ones when you do. *.psd (get rid of those old dusty photoshop files) *.pz3 *.cr2(WARNING...delete only those test ones you made to use once and forgot about) POSER CONTENT TO DUMP (subject to opinion but I deleted mine ----------------------------------------- P4 cat P4 Dog P4 Horse Everything P3 Everything P2 Everything Mil baby (hehehe) Kill those lousy pose folders filled with baseball poses. :) Adult content(for the guys at least) --------------------------------------- Get selective. Dump the beasts and save the feasts. :) Things to check for --------------------------- search for any folders called New Folder Look in each one found and see what can get deleted. Email, downloads, and unzipped folders ----------------------------------------- K if you have the same file in a attachment, download folder and also unzipped you are a lost cause. Kidding. If you haven't used it in 6 months are you really going to? Download, delete mail with attachments, and delete half empty unzipped folders. ZIP ZIP ZIP ------------------------------- Time to pack up those collectibles and antiques. Garbage day is here and the attic is empty. Start zipping up things that you haven't used in 6 months. Oh Vikci you're so fine!....was. -------------------------------------- If V3 and SP are all you care about these days...time to consider shipping the version 1.0's to the attic in zip files or unistall them. "this downoad freebie sucked" or "Yet another map with orange/green bodyhair" ------------------------------------------------------ We all love freebies but we all have tons of crap we thought would be good but forgot to delete aafter we looked at it. PPP please -------------------- If you have P4 and never plan on getting P5, search for PPP If the path in in Poser folders it stands for PoserProPack. Look for MAT Files you can dump. Install This... ------------------ If you have installers....go to daz, type in the code, rename your installers so you know what they are, backem up , and get them OFF the hard Drive Parting words.......... To each his or her own. If something I have said above alarms you please don't tell me :) These recommendations are for those DESPERATE for space. Check everything 10 times, be sure you know what it is and look for duplicates. Hope this was mildy entertaining and useful. Geep this would make a nice tutorial if someone was so inclined as to do a better job than I. :)
