Multiple Gigs Of Intallers In Documents Folder

Postby chrlswtt » Sun Jan 10, 2021 4:41 pm

I run a Mac (10.15.7). I was poking around in Home > Documents > IK Multimedia > IK Product Manager. In that folder, I found installers for every IK product (old and new), I've installed on my Mac. Total space 16gig. I'm not really hurting for storage space but for anyone who is, is this massive amount of storage necessary and if not, is it safe to remove? I imagine it would be the same for Windows users.

I would think that they are placed there by the IKPM (the IK Product Manager).

I would move them to a back-up location on another disk, just in case you want to reinstall any of them. Then change the folder in the IKPM Settings to the new destination.
