How to reduce the size of your World of Warcraft folder!

[Zeluous]

Greetings fellow MMOwneder's

I am here today to explain to you how to reduce the size of your WoW folder! Yes, I am aware this is common sense but somone asked in the Bawx earlier so clearly it isn't common knowlage! So without further a do here is my Screenshot guide! ( 2 Screenshots incoming )

Step 1 : Look for all files that are circled in the picture and there may be others depending on how old your installation is and press delete. Don't worry, These have nothing to do with your WoW funtionality!



Step 2 delete these 2 folders ( NOTE : You will have to delete cache once every week or so ) :


There you go, You have just saved yourself 1GB disk space +/-
Thanks for reading!

For the sake of 1.7MB? It's not worth it :P

Meh, unless your running an old crappy machine and are struggling to have space, don't bother, I'm running with only 830GB and I'm fine

I saved 25MB doing this.

This is kinda good if you want to have it on a USP port/key, you can delete everything but the data folder, the .dll files, BNUpdate.exe, BackgroundDownloader.exe, Launcher.exe, Wow.exe. That would make my wow filling 13,7 GB (that said i wouldn't delete my Interface and WTF folders, but you CAN)

Nice guide helped save me a lot of space

You can also go into \Data\enGB\Interface and remove the cinematics

For those whom enable combat log recording may I suggest you go into ..\Logs\ and delete WoWCombatLog.txt.

Mine was almost 4gb in size...

useful! Be careful though, if you delete your patch files and need to reintall, you;ll have to download them all again, i suggest only moving these somewhere else, to save you some time/bandwith (I only get 60g a month lol)
