I'm not sure that I know what a geo folder is but you can use Find Files or Folders in windows and look for *.rsr Then select the ones you want to get rid of and hit the delete key.

are you sure you want to do this? next time you load any figure that has no *.rsr just *.obj, poser will produce one...

Hi, aleks I think raz is referring to the .rsr thumbnail files, not the .rsr files in the Geometries folders. The thumbnails are safe to delete.

If you're running short of space it can be worth deleteing the RSR files in the geometries folders... Poser will re-create them as it uses the OBJ files, but all those rarely used geometries needn't have the RSRs there. There is a utility for doing this... um... but I don't know what it's called or where it is. You can do a "find files" with the Geometries folder only, with *.RSR as the search string then select them all all hit delete. It's quicker than trawling through the folders manually. H:)

Start --> run --> command (or cmd if you're not in Windows 9x), cdgeometry directory (i.e. cd "C:Program FilesMetaCreationsPoser 4RuntimeGeometries" (use those double-quotes, by the way), and then: del *.rsr /s That'll work, provided you're using a windows based machine. With 2k and XP some more useful dos commands were removed, but that should still work. I can't be the only dos nut around, can I?

No, you're not the only dos nut around and the only thing I liked about XP was that it uninstalled and restored my old OS flawlessly.

Heh, that's not saying much for XP then. I'm still using 2k, and I don't see myself "upgrading" any time soon. XP is mostly just visual changes anyway, aside from a few little things here and there that I don't need/don't want. Besides, 2k is rock solid for me. :)
