Re: "outdatedEADesktop" folder expendable?

Why EA App leaves rubbish behind? Can it be avoided? I have "EA Desktop", "outdatedEADesktop" and "StagedEADesktop". Is it really necessary? Cannot be just config file backed up instead of the whole package which no one needs?

  • Amen. I just checked the install size of the EA Desktop app on my PC. The folder is a little over 1 GB! And I have the same 3 sub folders. EA Desktop, outdated, and stagedEADesktop.

    It seems for some reason EA installs a copy of the current release version, keeps a copy of the previous version, and maybe the staged folder is updates it downloads but applies later or something like that IDK.

    Either way seems pretty crazy to have the client alone take up 1 gig.
