How much is too much
yetyak:
If you do it in game, and the files are read only, they will never disappear. Tried that one time, spent probably 3 hours going thru all the objects and clothes, and there they were the next time I loaded the game.... What a waste of good playing time.

OK I'm about to make a drastic move: I will either get rid of all Downloads minus hacks and start over to make a effort to delete atleast 2gb more. *CRIES***** Or i could attempt to upgrade computer. It is a athlon 64 3800 with 1 gb ram and a geforce 5200fx. i know i need to upgrade the card. lol So what do you think is my solution.

Five gigs? After a cleaning spree? :o Whoa, that's a lot.
After reading this thread I am happy to say that I don't have that much. I only have 1.46 GB. Of that 23.1 MB is the Saved Sims folder which is just things made by me or things by other people that I've converted to other ages or the other gender. 76.2 MB is most of the clothing, body, or hair meshes (a few of them have their own folders) and 7.13 MB is hacks and hacked objects. 7.35 MB is walls, floors, and terrain paint. And 72.0 MB is most of the object meshes. The rest is everything else I've downloaded. Some of them have subfolders, some of them don't. I'm not a very organized person, unfortunately.
When I clean out my downloads I do one of two things: look for the subfolder or copy of the download in my seperate Downloads folder in the desktop and copy it over and delete it. Or I use Clean Installer to weed out everything and Bodyshop or Cas to make sure I didn't miss anything.

te easiest way to thin dow is first look at what every single down load is and then delete every single download that you have collecting dust. thats what .since this morning i have dumped over 75MB of downloads into the recycle bin

Making the effort to selectively clean out the downloads was worth it to me. One good place to start with objects is to get rid of any recolors of the furniture you will never use. I hate the Lap of Luxury sofa, will never use it; but still had 47 recolors of it. Is that crazy or just addicted? Starting there made it easy to keep going.
