EA StaffHi @mstormyrose7867,
It is not possible to know which file is which in this folder, because as you have notices the names are unreadable. Why do you want to know?

Well, I was trying to find a way to get rid of unwanted cc, other than the launcher, because for some reason, my launcher will not install or uninstall anything right now, which I am also trying to find a solution to.
Also, there is a LOT of content in that file....

Hi @mstormyrose7867,
Even if you remove files from the DCBackup folder, they wouldn't get uninstalled from the game. This is a backup folder of the content you installed from sims3packs, which the game uses when you export something from the game that contains CC or Store content.
To remove the installed CC from the game you would need to delete files from the folder DCCache. However, several items are stored in one file, so this is not a good idea either.
Let's focus on fixing your launcher: could you describe the issue? Are you getting an error message?

Sometimes I have trouble installing/uninstalling downloads in my launcher. Usually, I just get a "not responding" message. So I clean out the cache files, etc., & then it works. Well, now...that's not working. And what is happening now is, I get the black box, then after maybe a minute, I get the "sims3 stopped working" message, & it closes it out. This is both with installing & with uninstalling. And the launcher is still up. This just started about a month ago. And I've already turned my computer off & back on, & cleared out cached files, etc. on my browser, on IE, & in my file folder. I have Windows10, & I am updated to v.1.69. Also, I have run Delphy's Dashboard several times, & deleted all the "corrupt" files. And my computer is a pc.
Oh, and thanks for explaining the other to me. 🙂
I have been working on cleaning out some saved sims and worlds....
