TomTom Home Folder

In my TomTom Home Folder there are loads of sub-folders under the TomTom\Home\Download\complete folder such as

ephemeris and then
QuickGPSfix
QuickGPSfix-1
QuickGPSfix-2
etc

fuelprice and then
Fuel_Prices_Europe___Update_prices
Fuel_Prices_Europe___Update_prices-1
Fuel_Prices_Europe___Update_prices-2
etc

map and then
Western___Central_Europe_2GB with nearly 2 Gb Map Data

There are more for the NavCore and Premium Safety Cameras etc...

Do i need all these once they are loaded to the unit? It's taking up the best part of 2 Gb (mostly map data i know). I've got unit backups so should i backup and delete any of this data or can i just delete it?

You can delete the downloaded stuff that is regularly updated but I would suggest copying the downloaded maps and programs folders to a DVD first, in case you ever need to re-install them or revert to a previous application.

The ephemeris and Quickfix stuff, as well as Fuel prices can all be deleted. So long as you have installed he map and have a backup, that can be deleted as well.

Yet another of my gripes with HOME, it's very untidy and sloppy programming that causes these incremented folders. Zero need to do so.

You may want to check out the junk in the licence and translation folders as well.
