  • @stephfourie  Most of those files are expendable and can be safely deleted without any consequences, but some of them contain information you might want saved.  For example, options.ini is where all your in-game settings are stored; notify.glob is the file that records that you've already seen certain notifications, so the game doesn't show them again.

    If you'd like to know what each file does, please see these descriptions:

    @EA_Darko Just trying to tidy up, see a lot of items which look identical, such as lastException. dont know what they are for.
