Hi just wondering what is the easiest way to delete unwanted demons from my hard drive to clear up space... 😶

Thanks! 💋

You are using MS Windows, so the easiest and fastest way is to use batch file. Just open Notepad, paste this:

@echo off
echo Do you really want to delete all demo files from this folder and all subfolders?
pause

del *.demo /S/F/Q
echo All demo files have been deleted.
pause

and save your new file with bat extension:
File > Save as > in File type field select All files (*.*) and give new name for your file, for example delete_all_demos.bat
Place your new file in models folder and execute by double-clicking on it.
Demo files should be deleted permanently, without using trash can.

In the GUI My Collection - 4 easy Steps...
1) Set Filters to show all of your Cards.
2) CTRl + A to select them all
3) RIGHT click on the trash can to see the options.
4) Select delete previews.

I think this is better,
as it will not delete the _ITxx_ demos,
used by the ***** and drop feature of the interactive cards.

Wait! I misread Poppy's message.

Probably the easiest way is to hire a priest and make an exorcism 😆

I fixed your Instructions ! 😜

Oh yeah hey thanks guys! I will try those things...but I definitely will not hire any priest for anything...those guys are sick perverts who prey on little children...plus they're all hypocrites anways...

but yeah goodnight!

Thanks again! 💋

Important NOTE

Not only the folders with the demos but also the bought shows are processed.

The batch files that have been displayed so far delete all files with the file extension "demo" as well as the transition clips (Exxxx_ITxx_xxxxxx.DEMO).

OMG I just noticed my stupid typo (demons LMAO!!! 😈😈😈)....I was wondering what the hell you guys were talking about...???

I just want to delete demos that are found in the "models" folder...they are taking up way too much space...

Which brings me to the question of why isn't there a feature in the program to delete them when you are finished...would be much easier than having to dig through your directory or make/paste some code...wasn't there a way to do that in previous versions???

Sorry again about the *****...I really can't process all this right now...I'm on the verge of passing out...so tired...

anyway thanks again and hope you all have a wonderful day! 😵

Here is the other version:

@echo off
echo Do you really want to delete all demons from this folder and all subfolders?
pause

for /f "tokens=*" %%F in ('dir /S/B *.demo ^| findstr /V it') do (
del %%F
)

echo All demons have been deleted.
pause

It will delete only "normal" demos and leave all transition clips alone.
Sweet dreams.

The demos contribute relatively little to to the iStripper disk space requirements, for example

Size of all files in my main models directory = 1.79 TB
Size of all demo files in that directory = 53.74 GB

So demo files occupy about 3% of the the space needed for the clips, and this includes the transition (i.e the hanging and looking bored) clips as demos so the real demos account for an even smaller proportion of the space,

I agree with @theEmu 100%
The demo's take up so Little space in the Collection, why Delete them???

Because the hard drive is to small, or to filled with other stuff harder to delete.

Thank you, Wyldanimal, for showing me how to delete them in the GUI.

Exactly! Thank you @Firescale! 😘

I mean honestly I just don't want them there...

i realise that in rare cases deleting the demos will help someone who desperately needs disk space, but people should also be aware that the amount of space that they recover this way is rather small, that it is likely to only give temporary respite and that looking for a more radical solution will probably be needed in the near future.

yup...

Is there an updated version of this batch file?

@echo off
echo Do you really want to delete all demos from this folder and all subfolders?
pause

for /f "tokens=*" %%F in ('dir /S/B *.demo ^| findstr /V it') do (
del %%F
)

echo All demos have been deleted.
pause

I ask, because it doesn't seem to get them all. If I go to the main folder and do a search for .demo it still has some files that are not itxxxx files. I don't know if there has been a change in folder format or while these files still exist.
An example of a file that was still there
f0294_41201.demo

Ok, I 'll make a disclaimer.
this will not remove .demo files from the preview cards, Only from Purchased cards...

@Wyldanimal , 👍
