Old games - delete or keep? (1 Viewer)

[hinesy32]

Hi all,

Not sure where to post this. I don't have the biggest hard drive, and I'm old school and not SSD. What do you do with old games you no longer play? I don't play Project Cars or Dirt Rally any longer. Is it worth keeping them, or if I delete them can I recover them again from Steam?

Cheers

Col

Sure, re-installing them is just 2 clicks. I always uninstall games I haven't played for a while.

Uninstall and keep the save game in the cloud. If you like to play on, reinstall with 2 clicks and play on.

Yeah, whilst Steam is still around you'll be able to download them whenever you want. I had a cull of games a while ago as although it felt nice to be able to play whatever game I wanted, whenever I wanted to, truth is, I never even looked at 90% of them.

Delete them if you dont play you wont regret
Like said above yeah you can allways re-download any time
Or you just upgrade your storage

Lol dont be a cheap skate and invest in a bigger hdd/ssd lol. Seriously tho if you dont play them why keep them.. You dont keep clothes that are too small for you do you ....

Look on amazon you'll find some nice deals, few months ago i got a seagate barracuda 4tb hdd for 100€
You can find some 1tb ssd for 100

I got a M2 1TB SSD for 130€. SATA SSD go for 100€ for a 1TB. And I would recommend that size. Buying 256 gb or lower is really pointless, price wise and size wise. Games are getting bigger and bigger. 50 gb per Game is becoming normal.

Crucial P1 SSD 1TB, M.2 (CT1000P1SSD8) now costs 112€ in Germany.

I can recommend it. It's M.2 2280, M.2/M-Key (PCIe 3.0 x4).
