Ark dedicated server total folder size questions

[elker]

Hi all,

My Ark dedicated server running 1 instance (using ArkServerManager) is running out of storage.

After some digging, I noticed below that are eating up the space,
Anyone know why in steamcmd\Servers there are subfolder with 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and folder 5 and 7 both have 11.9GB in it? Is it save to delete?

- 20.3 GB C:\dedicated_server
- 25.3 GB C:\steamcmd\
--- 11.9 GB C:\steamcmd\Servers\Server5
--- 11.9 GB C:\steamcmd\Servers\Server7

Below are the Directory/Location setting in ArkServerManager
Data Directory: C:\steamcmd
Installation Location: C:\dedicated_server\ark

Thanks

Those may be residual folders from when you were first setting up? If your positive that your game server is running in C:\dedicated_server\ark, then you are safe to delete the other folders.

Your server profiles (Not the game server itself) are saved to the Data Directory defined which I highlighted below. By default, ASM will create new Instance folders there as well. Your servers may or may not be within that folder. I highlighted my Aberration server as an example.

My assumption here is that you can get rid of the Server5 and Server7 folders.
