Downloads Organizing...
kinnika:
Okay, so I'm working on only my second day of trudging through my hellishly disorganized Downloads and looking forward to the next few days of doing the same thing until I am completely satisfied.
My question is... what in the heck are those long numbered downloads in my folder? They're just a long strand of numbers and a few letters in between.
Example: 0b27df818a344d34a9bc98bf7778 0001, and these: 0191506a, 0191506b, etc.
I don't like these things, lol. I'm sure I can get away with throwing them in a sub-folder. It's never affected my downloads before, I don't think. Are they important or can I get away with trashing them? I have tons of them!
EKozski:
They can be objects.
Every now and then, I run my folder through the Download Organizer. It gives me a description of what those downloads are.
You might want to take a look at the size of those. Sometimes if you download Sims, they come with this 6MB file that's totally useless and you can delete it.
kinnika:
Thanks, EK. This may sound like a silly question, but, how do I know if it's useless? Can I tell if it is through Download Organizer (which I seem to be having problems with) or Clean Installer?
Well, I just looked them up in Clean Installer, and it's telling me its an object recolour. So, is it just extra baggage that came with those recolour downloads?
EKozski:
What you'll want to do is, scan for duplicates. If you can do that with Clean Installer. I think you can. Dump/delete the duplicates.
I've got a ton of those files with numbers and letters. That's the only way I can tell what they are.
kinnika:
Yeah, I went ahead and deleted all the duplicates and nada - they're still there. They say they're object recolours. So, who knows. I just didn't want to dump them with the risk of screwing something up. I guess I could just put them in a sub-folder so they aren't crowding in with my Insimenator and Inteen downloads, right?
