Hello everybody is Scotto motto in this video I’m gonna show you how to reclaim potentially quite a bit of drive space from using twitch now I’ve been using twitch and curse for number of years now and I have accumulated tons and tons of these forged versions that go into the Folders all the way from 172 all the way up and there’s there’s even versions older than that you know but they could take a lot of space each one of these will have a jar in it that’s version of Forge inside if it’s like five Meg’s or So okay but in addition there is also under the install folder it puts under your versions folder a bunch of Forge entries okay and these are Jason files these are small but it also puts that entry so after a while it becomes kind of just even unmanageable To browse around so if I was to look at let’s say I can’t really do it without considering the instances and my instances folders are huge let’s suffice it to say it’s pretty darn big guys ok can potentially be but more so it’s just a mess so we’re gonna just Delete these because it installs them again alright and let’s just make an example of that just to show you what I mean okay so we’re gonna create a custom profile and we’ll go through and I don’t I didn’t get anything hardly for one I don’t think I have anything for one Point nine point one for instance okay so let’s just get something for that let’s just call the profile test you know one nine one alright I’ll do that to set my dyslexic typing that’s t’east beast okay your God is that even nine gosh I’ve got to learn to type better one nine one Thank you okay hello there it is so see when I went into this guy I pulled down a forged version okay you selected it from the list current modloader person maybe it didn’t even have maybe even the one point nine point one didn’t have Forge okay that’s the Thing yeah all right maybe not so let’s try again let’s try version 110 I don’t think I have anything for that test one tenth okay now that did have a forge we just saw that right there okay so it was forged 2012 18 mm okay so let’s go out look at our disk here and let’s see if we’ve got it yet install forge 110 is what it would be 12 18 mm right there okay so see it pulled it down right there then it went up here and it made an entry to it Probably like we got a new game version as soon as I did that it got me a brand new game version right there 110 and so the game versions there’s the 191 you’ll see I’m not even using that I could throw that away let’s see what it is the Games are about nine Meg’s okay and if you’re doing SSD of course this is major right so let’s look down at forge well it was 12 mm I think 12 12-something mm this one 1218 mm yeah today so it pulled that down all right well let’s just Delete those let’s just delete all of those hey and let me try to make a point with that so if I go through and I delete that those two 110 mm here you are yeah all right so I just deleted them but what happens now if I hit play what happens It downloads it again no problem it only downloads what it needs when it needs it that’s one of the things about being online and then if you’re offline if this thing should play offline it actually pulls down more stuff than it actually needs to but it it pulls it Down ok great not a problem at all and I do actually believe that we could go through and delete the whole Minecraft version if we want it to I can go up here and get rid of 110 entirely right we’d the forge is back by the way let’s Show that as soon as I did that that one that 10 whatever it was 1218 mm right there there it is pulled it back Hey but I’ve just now deleted then let me empty the trash just to be sure it’s not hanging out inside of there and got some Reference to it see no reference if it was in use for some reason Mac wouldn’t let you do that and let’s hit play now I downloaded one 10 profile did didn’t need to be out on the disk okay it didn’t need it it it downloaded it as it Needed it that takes a little bit longer maybe I don’t think it’s getting anything crazy but there it is hey now we got our forge now we’ve got our minecraft guys you don’t need any of that stuff it’s stored on the disk really just clean it out every once in a While is my point and you’ll save it quite a bit of drive space and especially you know I delete this profile I certainly don’t need any 1:10 stuff out there anymore so I could really safely go through each one of these and you know delete delete them that I don’t need Them okay so I mean it makes sense for you to save stuff that you’re using recently I musta launched something pretty early today but you know you want to go through and keep some recent stuff but I mean I could as I showed you it really honestly makes zero difference Whatsoever I can go through and delete pretty much all of these right here you know and just get rid of them don’t need them because it’ll pull them down as it eats them but you want to kind of keep up with what you’re doing so you could at least have some kind of Correspondence in the other thing although it doesn’t matter if I just deleted one of these types of profiles and it needed the other one I believe it would just pull what’s missing okay but kind of work systematically to make sure you’re pulling you’re throwing away both Of them you could save yourself a little bit of trouble but anyway guys that’s how you can save yourself quite a bit of drive space and I measured it earlier I believe and I was around five gig is what it was taken out just taking off about five gigs and that’s you know Quite a bit of accumulation it has to kind of maybe slow down the loading of twitch a little bit and stuff like that you know but that’s something you can definitely do to make your life a little bit easier and cleaner and you don’t feel like you’re spiffy and everything Shiny and golden and you have done some busy bee work for the day and you can sleep very soundly anyway I will

Forge and MInecraft versions in the Twitch launcher take up a lot of hard drive space. Twitch downloads them as needed. You don’t need to save all of them. Clean up your Curse folders and save space. Especially on SSDs.
