Tomlong54210 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Why don't you just delete the unpacked files? Why did you unpack the BSA anyway? To clean up, just delete the Meshes, Distant LOD and Trees folders that you extracted. You did not alter the original BSA, and reinstalling would have taken care of it if you had. Do not worry about that. Edit: Are you using any mods? Do you have a screen shot of your problem? Is the PC the only thing affected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maigrets Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 You might want to remove the part of your post related to a certain patch. It's against the TOS and can get you banned as well as anyone helping with that particular situation. As far as unpacking any of the Oblivion BSA's there's absolutely no reason to unless you're using the files to create a mod. The game won't run any faster or better with the files unpacked than if they are intact. If you do feel the need to unpack any of them, make sure to remove the BSA(s) or the unpacked files to a folder outside the Oblivion directory altogether, otherwise the game won't know which files to reference and all sorts of problems can happen. Unlike mod added data, these files will all be duplicates. To answer your question about the size of the files unpacked:Oblivion - Meshes.bsa is 659mb and DLCShiveringIsles - Meshes.bsa if you have SI of course, is 116mb.
