I’m curious how big people’s install size is now. Mine is 120GB and it won’t fit on a 128GB flash drive anymore. I ordered a 256GB flash drive so I can continue to keep a backup of my WoW folder.
72 GB. How is yours that big?

I have classic, the ptrs and the betas installed.
How is yours that big?
They ask that question all the time. It’s not easy…
I have all that installed as well and it’s not that big, when was the last time you reinstalled?
I’m guessing OP has at least one add-on for virtually everything. Or he just downloaded them all… just in case.

I realised how it sounded after I hit Reply XD
Isn’t beta in a separate folder? I know it used to be.
I have BEta and Retail installed and it’s 73 GB. The PTR pulls from Beta, so that was only less than GB more when I had it. Classic is less than 10 GB.
You need to reinstall. There’s leftover files clogging up your folder.

My addons folder is only 2GB.
Is there no cleanup option?
So I wasn’t too far off the mark. I have a fairly comprehensive set of add-ons, and my Interface folder is >50MB.
If that isn’t a combined Classic and Retail folder I’d be looking at what else is being put there.
Mine is only 67.5GB
I have
Retail
Classic
Retail Beta
Retail PTR
and it takes up just over 72gb.
Oh, how many screenshots do you have? They are stored inside the game folder under screenshots.
I’m running a scan and repair to see if it’ll delete the extraneous files. If it doesn’t, I’ll re-install from scratch.
