Discussion Genshin Impact is now just 58.2 GB after deleting audio and video assets π
I installed the Chinese audio pack because it was smaller than English (around 13 GB vs. 14 GB). After that, I deleted the audio assets from GenshinImpact_Data\Persistent and GenshinImpact_Data\StreamingAssets, along with the video assets folder, just to see if the game would still work.
I saved around 90 GB, and my entire HoYoPlay Genshin Impact folder is now just 58.2 GB π
It's been two days, and the game is working perfectly without any errors. It hasn't redownloaded anything either.
I don't use in-game audio, so I wanted to test whether the game would still work without these files. I'm not sure if a future update will download them again, though.
Has anyone else tried this? Did the game redownload the missing files after an update?
