Pussycat: I need to make some room on my computer for more games! I did a search for files that about half a gig and more, and it pulled up all my recently downloaded Setup.exe's from all the games I got during this holiday sale. I just got them, so naturally I want room for them so I can play them... but can I delete those setup files? Is that what the GoG Downloader deletes when you ask it to clear the dl from the disc or does it clear the game?

Thank you!

orcishgamer: You can, but GOG is not an archiving service. You should think about burning your games to disk. That's the point of no DRM:)

cjrgreen: Be careful; sometimes the setup program is also the uninstaller, and just discarding the setup program will make it impossible to uninstall cleanly.

I believe GOG's builds use separate uninstallers (look for a file called unins000.exe or something like that).

jungletoad: Really? I've never heard this before. I always toss my setup files on an external drive and delete them off my laptop.

Cleidophoros: Naah, uninstallers are in game folders; nothing to do with setup files.

cjrgreen: Some uninstallers actually rerun the setup file.

Usually, the setup file is copied to an uninstall folder, which is well buried in the Registry, when this is done.
