Title: too many .bak files Post by: simmerphi on 2007 December 22, 15:10:28 While using JMO's tutorial to delete some unwanted character files from my game, I noticed there were a lot of .bak files in my character folders. I checked and they are even in the character folders for 'hoods I've never played. They are all the exact same size as the originals.
Are these files necessary and if not, can they just be deleted? Title: Re: too many .bak files Post by: Gwill on 2007 December 22, 15:13:30 Any .bak file is too many. Delete them; they do nothing.

Title: Re: too many .bak files Post by: Orikes on 2007 December 22, 17:51:29 I believe that the .bak files are just back-ups, correct? So they should be safe to delete.

Yeah, it's just SimPE backing up everything in case you happen to have the average intelligence of a BBSer. I think the option to stop creating them should be in SimPE's options somewhere.Title: Re: too many .bak files Post by: Sivany on 2008 March 09, 11:43:50 I know it's been 30 days since anyone posted in this thread, but I didn't see the point in starting a new one when we could just have all the information together in this thread (makes searching a lot easier).
I have recently discovered a load of .bak files in my folder where I keep all my custom clothes and some of them are over 3Mb big. Is it safe to just delete these same as the sim .bak files or will deleting them affect my custom content?

And necromancy is bad m'kay especially when the dead thread had already answered your question. |
