I was just wondering which thumbnail files that are safe to delete. (since I just realized that the file named CASThumbnails.package in the thumbnails folder is over 200 mb...)

I know I can delete groups/cache/accessory files, and also the files in the project folder when I'm finished with them, but are there other "unneccessary" files that I also need to know about, and can safely delete?

thanks for any help.

Body Shop's thumbnails are located in a different file: cigen.package -- this too may be safely deleted.

You can safely delete every thumbnail file contained in the Thumbnails folder - they will all be regenerated the next time you load your game.
