Deleting Temporary Files

General Feedback & Requests
1

My game is tiny, size wise but my project folder just grows in size all the time.

I’ve worked out I can delete everything in the saved subfolder except config (deleting that resets all the UI changes I’ve made etc) and it saved me 900mb

I know size isn’t that much of an issue these days, but I rar my directory and upload to mega.co.nz for backup.

I’d like to see a “delete temp files” menu option or something

Thanks

Not just cool, but totally farkin radical

This is even worse with the DerivedDataCache. That thing balloons to like 50GB across a week or two of work. And since UE4 defaults itself to my C drive, I’m racking up and deleting hundreds of GB of data from an SSD every month.

It does sort of feel like UE4 isn’t very fond of cleaning up after itself.

Appreciate it!

Because I manually RAR and backup my own game folder this makes a big difference to me!

you can use a .bat to rar while this feature coming.
