hi,
Can I safely delete some big files from C:\postgreSQL\data\base?
HM2 tells me this folder needs some space..
I've got some files there called something like 413934.4 and they're over 1gb each.

Hi,
No this is not possible as this is your database, Some SSD's now use compression automatically. The Truth About SSDs and Compression
You can also use NTFS compression on the DB folder in roaming and the postgres\data\base folder to make it smaller:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/251186
You can put your postgres data folder and the HM2 database parent folder on a different drive.
In HM1 there are a lot of tables that deal with a specific hand played by a specific player. In HM2 we don't have these tables, instead, for player related hand data, we use a flat file approach. Each player has his own folder and each file represents a single day. Each line within the file is a tokenized version of a single hand with incredible amounts of detail. Your overall HM2 spaced used (DB + Files) is about 2/3 of HM1 and we store probably 2-3 times as much info plus it can be accessed many, many times faster and allows us to do some things that wouldn't be possible otherwise, many of which are yet to come. If you don't want the space in your Roaming folder due to C: file space or something like that, we do give you the option of storing this data anywhere
General rule is 1 million hands = 10 GB.
In reality it's: 1 million hands
HM1: 6.8 GB
HM2: 4.3 GB
PT4: 13.6 GB
So with a 10 million hand database you need as SSD of at least 60 GB (Windows) + 100 GB = 160 GB.
We use 1 million = 10 GB (instead of 6.8) because when you want to perform a vacuum/analyse or backup/restore a database it will require a LOT of disk space to perform such a task.
You can also run tree size free to locate wastes of space:
