That 83gb is about what I had before I erased the +/- files. Now at about 31gb with all of them (UltraPlus Pak). There was an earlier post about the Holds/Shots files, and that seems to be a different size for some folks as well. Maybe such things as formating of the hard drives and file system specs could account for some size differences. And with the old way, you could expand all of the RT's, some of them, etc. so I wouldn't worry so much about file size - as was suggested here look at the What Options Do I Have menu and see if any are listed as not installed.

I ran a couple of test on my system regarding generation time before I erased the +/- files. Basically generation took about 30% longer with them deleted, but for my songs the longest was about 10 seconds so I can live with that and reclaim a bunch of hard drive space. If space isn't an issue I don't see any reason to delete them unless you just want to.

Good luck.

One other thought - if you don't erase the +/- files, you might want to check the box to instruct BIAB to use them, otherwise it won't even though they are still there on your system.
