Good evening to everyone,

I am attempting to clear my oversized Downloads folder of all the custom content I downloaded back in the day and that I don't use anymore. I found the best way for me to do that is by going in-game and deleting them from there since I can actually see the object/recolour and decide whether I want to keep it or not (I tried using the Clean Installer but it only shows textures). So my question would be, can I be sure that everything is removed this way, including recolours when I delete a mesh? How can I identify a recolour that's not associated to a mesh anymore?
If not, can anyone suggest a better way to make sure I get rid of all the things I don't need cluttering up my game anymore?

Thank you

Recolours won't be deleted. However, you can use the DDO (available from Delphy's profile) to list your files according to type - with one of those types being orphaned (meshless) recolours. You can also preview and delete files from within the DDO.

Well, I've cleaned up my downloads from ingame (without deleting every recolour, just the object) and launched DDO and checked the box for Orphans but it doesn't show anything although I'm sure I have some meshless recolours there. Any idea why they might not be showing up?
