Just looked at all the files in the Demo section of BB on my hard drive and I see that all of the RealTrack demos are duplicated. I currently have 7,152 SGU & MGU files in C:\bb\Demos\Realtracks-Demos and I also have 7,152 duplications scattered around various sub-directories in C:\bb\Demos\RealTracks-Demos\...
Any logical reason why this is so. I have a 960 GB SSD so I am not worried about space at all.
The folder contains about 3GB of wma realtrack band/solo demos and 70meg of SUG MGU and other files. If you are desperate for room you can symlink the folder to another drive/SD card/usb stick. Have you got the RealTracks/Drums on the same drive ?
My folder is much larger, around 36 MB of SGU,MGU & WMA files. My only question was why they were duplicated as I found them to be. Since I have a 960 GFB SSD, I am way more then enough room to put 8 more copies of BIAB on the drive. It is not a question of running out of space at all. I am just wondering why are they duplicated to begin with. What was PG Music's reasoning. I myself see absolutely no reason for this. I would think that only 1 copy is needed for the demo files to load and run if I so chose to do so.
Do a search for .wma in the search box of the folder when done select all wma files > right click > Properties, all the wma should be in the root of that folder.
Make sure you haven't got a RealTracks folder in the same folder somehow as they sat together in 2017.

Video: Enhanced Melodists in Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows®!
We've enhanced the Melodists feature included in Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows!
Access the Melodist feature by pressing F7 in the program to open the new MultiPicker Library and locate the [Melodist] tab.
You can now generate a melody on any track in the program - very handy! Plus, you select how much of the melody you want generated - specify a range, or apply it to the whole track.
This new panel offers built-in specific support for the Reaper® DAW API allowing direct transfer of Band-in-a-Box® files to/from Reaper® tracks!
When you run the Plugin from Reaper®, there is a panel to set the following options:
-BB Track(s) to send: This allows you to select the Plugin tracks that will be sent Reaper.
-Destination Reaper Track: This lets you select the destination Reaper track to receive media content from the Plugin.
-At Bar: You can select a bar in Reaper where the Plugin tracks should be placed.
-Start Below Selected Track: This allows you to place the Plugin tracks below the destination Reaper track.
-Overwrite Reaper Track: You can overwrite previous content on the destination Reaper track.
-Move to Project Folder: With this option, you can move the Plugin tracks to the Reaper project folder.
-Send Reaper Instructions Enable this option to send the Reaper Instructions instead of rendering audio tracks, which is faster.
-Render Audio & Instructions: Enable this option to generate audio files and the Reaper instructions.
-Send Tracks After Generating: This allows the Plugin to automatically send tracks to Reaper after generating.
-Send Audio for MIDI Track: Enable this option to send rendered audio for MIDI tracks.
-Send RealCharts with Audio: If this option is enabled, Enable this option to send RealCharts with audio.
