Deleting unwanted assets is a, one by one, at a time, process ... your hard drive will accomodate millions of unused assets, and you will never know the difference whether they are there or not (unless you downloaded the entire DLS) :hehe:
My TRS2006 "Local" file is HUGE ... (the ladies at the tavern are never impressed by that statement, though) !
If you select a route you no longer want, then click "dependencies" ... you can delete the non-built in assets.

also make sure those dependencies don't go to anything else - that'd be a bummer. You can check that by right clicking an asset in CM and looking to see if dependent assests is grayed out. If so it's ok to kill it. I understand those local files - TS12 @ 28.8GB and TS2010 @ 48.3GB..... good thing the drive is huge, those two insallations take up about 220GB.

Removing 'unused' assets is a big risk at this point in time.
Textures, especially, do not get recorded correctly as dependencies in routes/sessions.
In addition to this, rules and driver commands are not normally recorded as dependencies due to a Trainz bug.
Trains that are emitted from a portal are also not recorded as dependencies.
I will be looking into sorting out a utility to help out with unused assets, but I need N3V to sort out the dependency recording bugs (which I have a ticket relating to with the Helpdesk) first.

Rules and commands are part of the session, not the route.
Such a utility would be highly useful

Shane strikes again!! Right on - especially if half of us are as bad at "housekeeping" as I am! There should be a donation pool for a salary for you as much work as you put in for this community - or just a cot and some beer...I agree, I am new to trainz community and Shane posts were always there to help. Thanks Shane for what you have been doing.

I will be looking into getting TS12 at some point, although I need to check if my system will cope with it first.
In the meantime, my tutorials are always available.
