BTP Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 If you're wondering why you don't have any free HD/SSD space, check your IKM download folder. I had 50 GB of old Tonex and AmpliTube installation files there. And other old versions of IKM files that can be deleted. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no point to keep old versions of the application installation files. (Instrument/data files of course should be saved.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last Call Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 It's tiresome to download 3 GB every time there is an update and IKM, among other developers, don't care... lol 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UVI win the 'Massive Download For A Tiny Update' award 2023 though. They consider a 3 GB download for wimps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's safe to delete the IKM download folder. It gets recreated anytime IKM Product Manager downloads anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The software files can be deleted, but the sound/instrument downloads expire so people want to keep those files in case they need to be reinstalled.

You don't need to backup the plugins, such as Amplitube or T-RackS. The IK downloads for those never expire. Only the IK sound content/samples downloads for the instruments expire after 180 days. I just thought it was a relevant point to make, considering that this is an Amplitube thread, and as such this product is not affected by expiration policies. Unless you just want assurance against IKM going out of business, or having a full subscription meltdown, etc. Edited March 31, 2023 by abacab 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidney Earl Goodroe Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 I'm having a brain fart!! Where is the IKM download folder? I use to back it up but have neglected to do so for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use to back it up but have neglected to do so for a while. I believe the IKM installation files are here: C:\Users\<your user name>\Documents\IK Multimedia\IK Product Manager\ I navigated to that location using the File Explorer starting in the "Documents" folder. There are subfolders for each product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my case, it goes to a "IK Product Manager" folder in My Documents. But you can set the folder up to be anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your current and past release downloads can all be found at this page. https://www.ikmultimedia.com/userarea/my-products/ Just click on the "Past Releases" button under a product to get to the downloads for it. No need to back them up unless you just want to have a copy for convenience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
