Size of mods

Recommended Posts

I downloaded a few mods for A26 and played them, but now my / is completely full (the mods apparently take 3,3 Go).

I want to remove the more heavy-weight of them but I can't find a way to know which ones are taking the more space ?

 

Also, if I deactivate them (the only option offered by the OAD GUI at least as far as I can see it) will it remove them from the disk ?

If not, how to free space on disk ?

Are you using Windows?

I think not; deactivating and deleting are different things.

Are you?

Anyway, you can browse your filesystem and navigate to the mods folder. There you should be able to see the properties of each mod folder (right click) and delete them. Personally, I use a file manager (Total Commander):

Of course not !

Debian Stable + Mate.

That sounds quite logical.

So, how to delete them ?

Actually, no.

There's only two Mod folders in /usr/share/games/0ad/mods/ , "public" and "mod".

"Public" holds mod.json and public.zip, which weights 3,3 Gb, but I have no idea to which mods that corresponds.

"mod" holds mod.zip for 35 Mb.

It says ~/.local/share/0ad/mods which is where the mod should be if there are any.

And if Public.zip is the main game, then maybe my problem isn't with the mods ?

Maybe not. What mods do you have installed ?

I suggest to use a disk usage analyzer tool, a graphical one available on basically all distributions would be baobab, there are plenty others which you should be able to find with a web search or maybe your package manager.

Also on a simple setup anything outside of /home is likely base system or installed via package manager.

That is exactly how I found that /usr/share/games/0ad/mods/public was taking 3,3 Gb...
