Can i remove some PakFiles?

Development Getting Started & Setup

My project is loading some PakFiles…

I think it is becouse i started my project using the FirstPerson template in UE4.27.
This features were included in this template project.
However I’m using UE5.3 now, and I think i don’t need this Feature Packs anymore.

I’m looking for the way to remove them.
But, i can not find where i can do it.
Rider does not find matching text in project files.

How can i remove them?
Or they are necessary?

PS: I have migrated my project files to a new empty project several times before. Doing this will not remove these dependencies.

Thank you so much!!

@Ivan3z did you ever figure this out? I’m curious if it’s necessary, but I also see the same log. I started the project completely from a blank template.

I think it always happened…
Same thing in UE5.4

I just never paid attention to it.
I think it is some kind of default settings…
But i believe i do not need it…
I would like some one say to as if it is needed or not… or how to uninstall it.
My philosophy is that if you don’t need it then it’s unnecessary.
Better delete it
