Introduction
This guide will tell you where to find files included with DOOM Eternal which can be removed, in order to save hard drive space. Categories are in descending order of space saved.
DLC Content
Did you know that DOOM Eternal installs the files for The Ancient Gods 1 and 2, regardless of whether the user has purchased the DLC? Surely, there's nothing you can do with these files that the publisher has forced onto you but delete them. Right?

Maybe don't delete these. Maybe move these files into their own folder with your favorite[www.chocolate-doom.org] source[www.chocolate-doom.org] port.[zdoom.org] ;)

As a side note, some people experiencing some hitches when switching between suit upgrades or weapon mods in the menu might also benefit from deleting UI videos. It's not a very wow thing, it doesn't change stuff much, but it is a effect.
