This OP is the reason I tend to avoid forums lately.

Looks like it's back up btw

Getting this too after logging off.

@AndrlCh Aigh, found you in another thread and using the same weapon type works Thank you. This will do it.

@AndrlCh Thanks... that will not be fun. Any other/better/easier way to do that, since we have so many cool skins capped at 30? The only way seems to be by using an item from one of the swap vendors but he wants near 1500 class ex-cubes for that... a feat which could take prob months if not years, unless I am missing something.

PSO2 has eaten almost 400 gigs of my hard drive...... I want to reinstall it agaun but I can't risk losing more space

Read some of the most recent threads above, they show you how to clean up that space. You need to clear your MutableBackup folder.

@Sephlock said in HDD Space Not Given Back After Uninstall:

So even according to that treesize program, there's nothing in my windowsapps folder, where else should I look to free up the space taken up by an old install of pso2?

You need to go under C:\Program Files\WindowsApps Find a folder named MutableBackup and delete everything inside. It'll take a while, since you prob have thousands of files in there.

Be advised, you'll need to claim rights over your system to access those folders.

@AnderPander5 said in HDD Space Not Given Back After Uninstall:

If I delete the folders inside the MutableBackup folders, will I lose my saved data? I put so much time into this game I don't want to lose my progress.

No, you will not. Your progress is kept server side, your settings/customizations are kept in your My Documents folder.

@AndrlCh said in How to turn a +30 weapon into a camo?:

You need a Weapon Transmutation Pass which you can buy from the SG Shop; it technically doesn't turn it into a camo, but rather it changes the model of one weapon into another. Also, both weapons need to be at +35, not +30.

I know this is an old thread, but is there any way to use the skin of a weapon that caps at +30 on a weapon that caps at +35?

that does not account for the 70gb or so from modifiable windows apps.. lol

here is the program for those interested so they can locate/delete https://www.jam-software.com/treesize_free

Dude, seriously, thank you. I had the SAME exact issue, it was eating over 200 GB on my fucking 500 GB SSD
