@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:

Hey @stephfourie is there a reason why you are looking to delete files related to your games?
