settings in DIM to delete d/led zips

FSMCDesigns

is there a setting in DIM that will delete the d/led zip files after they are installed. I just checked and i have over 300 gigs of d/led files. I thought about just deleting them, but didn't know if that would mess up any DIM settings.

Yes, there's a "delete package once installed" checkbox at the bottom of the "ready to install" tab.

thanks Leana, I never view the ready to install tab, so never saw it. unfortunately it doesn't delete the ones already installed, but still helpful for future installs.

By the way you can just delete all those past .zip files (and their matching .dsx files in the download library) as long as you keep the Manifest .dsx files so DIM knows you have installed them all. I do this manually all the time, so that I can download / install / back up to external HDD / tidy up.

You can do it via right-click menu in the Installed tab - select them all, or the ones you want zapped, and you should be able to delete seelcted packages as I recall.

Fire up DIM, click on the 'Installed' tab, select products you want to work with, right-click, and select 'delete packages' 'all selected'. This deletes the installation zips but leaves the products installed.
