VGI Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 How many saved games do you have and how much space in your hard disk does it occupy? I believe I have 20. Don't know how much disk space it takes though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker879 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 The things you find out trying to answer questions ... whew!!! Would you believe 1098 files using 3.55GB of disk space (and I've deleted a lot of old saves). Obviously I'm not hard pressed for hard drive space. To find out your situation right click your Saves folder in My Documents\My Games\Obilivion. Then select Properties from the right click menu ... your size, size on disk (actual space used to store the files) and number of files will be listed. Time for me to get pruning again.

aeriedescent Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 (edited) Would be 4382 saves according to last save's name, but there are really just 1 518 Files, 2,72 GB Do the file names count in quicksaves and autosaves? That would explain? And wouldn't really be 1 518 files though, there's is one extra files related to every save from the menu and three to autosave, quicksave and streamsaves. 725 unique saves from the menu, then. Saves 1-985 were from May and June 2010, the rest (up to 4382) are from since this year's January. Guess I should delete most but I just can't be arsed. :pinch: Edited March 11, 2011 by aeriedescent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReALty Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I have 34 saves using 29.7 MB of disk space. I guess I should delete some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinrocks Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 basically play with 4 games, found that having one open save game on the menu, never touch the autosave, I have saved stuff at points that I would not mind going back to, so there are folders with four games that I created while playing the game, usually after completing the quests, or made major changes in the game, there are 3 of these folders.

VGI Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 Holy Moley! Seriously you guys? Some of you have THOUSANDS of saves? O_____O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSwedishPancake Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Well, I sure learned something new today. 84 save files occupying 171 MB of disk space. The vast majority of these, though, are save files used for editing a character's appearance or for screenshooting purposes, so I really only have a couple of save files that I actually use. With the addition of the backup save files, the file count soars to 415 files at 268 MB. Too many files! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brasher Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I have about 20 characters and about 10 saves per character, so I would average about 200 savegames. It looks like I have 936 MB of saves. Now and then I go in and make sure that I only have 10 saves per character and delete old ones to get down to this number. Savegames are nice to have around. If someone reports a bug in one of my mods, I often have a savegame at the right place and time period that I can use for play-testing. Say nothing of how spare savegames can protect you from loss through effects of bad mods, CTDs, and corrupted savegames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
