    Default can i delete AppData/Roaming/HM/Database?

    Hi,

    there is directory with some gig, which is kinda strange, because the database is stored somewhere else (as set by pgsql).

    maybe its old stuff from the import?

    thanks,

    Don't touch this folder, its part of the database (the parent folder). If you delete it you will loose all your data.

    my database directory from pgsql is somewhere else (manually set to c:\postgresql.db)

    what in gods name do you need 120.000 files / 6gbyte ... well, not to surprised. you need dummy files to file the gigabytes of memory hem2 needs.

    As you was told, this folder is a part of database.
    HM2 stores half of info in postgresql DB, but another half - in that folder.

    I have one database named HoldemManager2. In the folder AppData/Roaming/HM/Database there are 4 folders. One with the recent database HoldemManager2. 3 other folders with names of deleted databases. Can I delete these 3 folders, so that just the one with the name of the recent database is remaining?

    Yes, you can delete these folders.


    If you delete an old database in pgadminIII, if won't delete the corresponding AppData/Roaming/HoldemManager/Database/[...] folder.
    So either delete it manually, or always delete a database in HM2--> home tab--> Database
