So, I have my game, Delta Origins. In the past, I have made a lot of different versions. Some I have deleted, but many I have kept. Here they are in the File Explorer.

All of those are old game copies, encrypted releases. All except B-2, which is the current release.
They take up a lot of space on my computer. Should I delete the old ones to free up space, or keep them?
This isn't anything technical - just your opinion. Also, I do not have these anywhere else like Google Drive.

I used to keep old release so that if anyone comments on my game, I could see the context.
But I only keep one or two old releases lol.

Or if you feel nostalgic, you can always keep old releases

As long as you remove any important information and assists then go for it. Make sure to make an extra copy of you're current project. Matter of fact make two. To be safe make three. You know, just in case.

You should have burned them to a CD or something like that - Computer and Internet aren't the only ways to store data...

I was about to say, I have a lot of my old, old, unreleased projects on a flash drive. it's fun to go back and look at them sometimes and see how far i've come. maybe something to consider in the future.

there could also be some point where there is a bug in the current release but not an earlier one and the older builds might have some answers to that. I would try to save everything you can in the future. there might be something that comes up where you need to look back on them. if you want to get really down to it you could buy a flash drive per game that has every build of that game on it.

Okay, well, I'm going to recover them now. https://www.undeleteplus.com/

If your computer has space, keep it, you can always look back and notice how much you improved ect.
