Spring-Cleaning and surprise

Hi folks, I'm doing a spring-cleaning in all my PCs. As a part of it, I removed Trainz products from my best gaming PC. Used Revo Uninstaller, because I've heard Trainz programs may leave quite a lot of files after a normal uninstall. After completely uninstalling TANE and TMR17 from drive D, I checked the C drive with WizTree. And got surprised. There was still over 50 Gb TANE and TMR17 stuff in N3V folder. Over 50 Gb for ***** sake OK got them removed manually, but this left me thinking something not so politically correct. After settling down a bit I remembered the Trainz knowlege of this forum.

Please can somebody explain why there are such a huge storage of Trainz stuff on the system drive?? My simulator installations were on drive D.

That's normally because by default T:ANE and TMR17 user information is stored in a subfolder of C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\N3V Games\TANE unless it's been otherwise specified (although a small amount of information has to stay in the mentioned folder so Trainz can find the user information).

My Local file in TRS2006 is 476GB, and Trainz takes up 2/3 of my HD

You should have a PC dedicated to Trainz, and all your documents, downloads, pictures, videos ... etc ... on external HD's

This is normal. As Shane said the user data is not removed unless specified in the uninstaller and for a very good reason.

To get around the content in the C: drive default location, place your content on another drive or in another location outside of the C:\User\profile\App Data\ path. I, for example, have my T:ANE data on my F: drive in F:\TANE_DATA. There are no other data folders on my C: drive. I also have about 750GB of data including built-ins and third-party content.

50GB !!!! ??? on C: ???

my appdata/local on C: for T:ANE is 208.678.731 BYTES. About 200 MB.

Trainz is running only on drive G: and is over 100GB
