deleting files from content routes folder

[michaelhendle]

Hi
I've been going through my content routes folder and have found a lot of files which just have scenario folders in them.
I was just wondering if it will safe to delete them

Sorry, but that doesn't make sense. "files with scenario folders in them" ? ? Files don't have folders in them!!

Do you mean folders that have empty scenario folders in them? Could you give exanples?

I know you mean folders.

Often, when you add scenarios to a route and then delete that route at a later date, some scenarios are left over. Happens to me too. You can either delete them or leave them where they are, just in case you decide to re-install the route in question.

It also occurs when you buy a new loco or unit but you don't own the route for the Scenarios the train uses
The system creates a folder with the scenarios for that route.
If at a later date you bought that route the scenarios would be there to use

These will be scenarios for Routes that you do not have. When you purchase DLC rolling stock, you will be given scenarios including such rolling stock in them. If you have the routes for those scenarios, then the scenario files (in their own folder) will be placed in your subfolder in the route folder. If you do not have the Route, then a new folder for it will be created, just containing those scenario files (in their own folder). Unless you plan to purchase the DLC, then it is perfectly safe to delete those "phantom" Route folders

You hear nothing for a few minutes, then 3 explanations come along at the same time - just like buses

Hi All.

That's what I meant,I was just thinking if I deleted them,maybe TS2019 might load a bit quicker.

I've now got 2 routes folders one with my British routes in it and one with my German/Austrian routes in it,I've renamed that folder as well.

Thanks you, All for your advice,I didn't want to delete them before asking if it was safe
