So ever since 1.4.0.5 updated, after about an hour of playtime, there are 5-6 world backups inside my Recycle Bin.
I think whatever's being done to delete the excess backups isn't deleting them properly.
They should probably be fully removed, or just overwritten by new backups.

Not really a major issue, but as someone who likes to keep my Recycle Bin empty, it's a bit annoying to need to go and empty it every time I finish playing.

Yeah same here recycle bin filling up with Bak.Files.
Hot fix please.
As this is annoying.

 

[Kefke]

Same here. Though, I have plenty of free time, and after a long play session I can easily end up with 30-40+ files in my recycle bin. Very concerned that this could cause my computer to crash, or cause other issues due to using up memory, fragmentation, etc...

 

[Javajoe]

Same thing happening to me as well.

Same

 

[Gotcha!]

This undoubtedly needs looking into, but for now a nice workaround:

If you open your config.json file (located in the parent folder of where your worlds/players are located) and change "WorldRollbacksToKeep"'s value to 1, it won't be polluting your recycle bin anymore.

What are the consequences of that?

You will have less backup files in case of corruption or file loss.

 

[Gotcha!]

Indeed, but you can grow a healthy dose of paranoia, like I have, and make manual backups.

Manual backups are the best backups!
