I have my Runtime folders on 2 hard drives and out of curiosity I did a "Files and Folder Search" of my old hard drive which only has runtime folders on it.

The total showed 982 files!!!

Not all can be deleted because some are things for "P4 Female", and it picked up on files whose name had a "p4" in it.  But very many can be deleted. I've gone through several of the folders already and have deleted 382 files so far.

I did the same thing for my other hard drive, and those runtimes came up showing 940  files with "P4" in them. Again, not all can be deleted because I have the files for "P4 Woman" and "P4 Man" on that drive, but many can and will be deleted.

While I was deleting P4 files, I deleted the "PP" ones as well if there were P5 files for the same item.

I predict freeing up quite a bit of hard drive space!  :)

I thought I was being  careful when I installed things and had been deleting the files for versions I didn't need, but I guess I missed a few!  LOL
