Default 100 megs of dreck in my /savegame directory

I went to clean out my /savegame directory, so I sorted by type, hit Ctrl-A to select all, deselected just the .GAM files...

...and realized that I had selected for deletion 5,500 files, totalling roughly 100 megs!

Not that this is a major problem, but...wow!

Seems like you play too much

Well, who needs to shower when there's time for one more move... [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Waterdrop.gif[/img]

Or maybe change your AutoSave options?

Or the perfect solution... Buy a larger harddisk and autosave every turn.

I routinely delete game files that are older than a month, which is similar to my office. If I haven't read a magazine/periodical or other "news", it will be *really* out of date by the time I get around reading it.

Are those files actually related to the autosave?

Nah, you need to save all your turn files, so your grand children can load them and re-live your SE4 games...
