Can someone please help me!!!???

I cannot remove or delete downloaded content from my launcher. Can someone please tell me why it cannot be deleted, if it means something or not and how do I get it off of my launcher. It is very frustrating when I am trying to download new content? Thank you.

Are you getting an error message ?
The files are all stored in the following folder documents\electronicarts\thesims3\downloads.

You can just go there and delete them manually.
I'm unsure what the connection between downloading new content and deleting the old one is. Do you not have a lot of space left or why do you need to delete them ?

No, I don't get any type of message, error or otherwise, and my game works fine and I still have plenty of space. It's just annoying that I have all these things on there that I can't get rid of and when I download from the exchange I still have the stuff on there and I don't know if I it is alright to re-download into the game, so I have to go thru and manually select what I want to download instead of being able to "select all" and it is just frustrating and time consuming. The content is still in my download folder, so I will just delete from there. I just wasn't sure if it would affect my game by deleting them from there or not. Thanks for the help and taking the time to answer. 😕mileyhappy:
