Zip Files In Documents Folder ?

Postby Musical.Alchemy » Fri Sep 24, 2021 10:17 pm

I'm finding about 80+ GB of Zip files in C:\Users\Documents\IK Multimedia\IK Product Manager

Are these necessary or just left left over from the installs ? I wouldn't think Amplitube and the other IK programs would be using zip files. But before I delete them I want to check first.

That is the downloads folder used by the IKPM. You can change it in the IKPM Preference settings.

By design, IKPM does not delete the downloads after installation. This is so that you can back them up to another disk for possible later re-use (and avoid any potential Downloads Reactivation fee).

If they were automatically deleted then you would have to download them again if you wanted to reinstall. Maybe you recall the shenanigans we had to go through with N***** A***** to get a copy of the installer.
