Hi, I am trying to reclaim some disk space and I was thinking about moving some of the characters and props I never use onto a CD and delete them form the hard drive. My question is, What do I have to be careful of in terms of not leaving anything behind? Let's say I wanted to remove a character. I'm pretty sure I have to delete the geometry but what else do I have to delete or move? What about a prop? I know this might be an elemetary question for some but frankly it is a difficult one for me. I would appreciate any help. Thanks so much.

To remove everything, you'd need to get: 1. The obj and rsr file from Geometries (note that not all props have files in Geometries). 2. The cr2 (pp2, etc) and rsr/png from the library folder. 3. Any textures used by the item from your textures folder. If you delete an item from the library from inside Poser, you only get #2. Figuring out #1 and #3 may require you you to browse through the cr2 file with a text editor to see which files are referenced. You can read it with wordpad (if you have windows) or any plain text editor.
