    Re. PC

    Greetings All !
    I've been storing my downloaded software by-
    keeping:
    - VST2
    - VST3
    - CLAP
    - Linux (maybe, for future RasPi boxes?)
    Removing:
    - AU
    - AAX

    If you guys are sticking with x64 (64bit) OS's, would you keep any x86 (32bit) versions as well?

    Thanx.

    I would delete all 32 bit versions, 64 bit has a higher quality. With older VST3 plug-ins there were early errors and the VST2 version was then used. Of course, there are old software synthesizers that are only available in 32 bit, so you should make sure that you don't delete them by mistake. Always pack your keygens with WinRar.

    I'm careful about removing installed files, some pesky devs may redirect one plugin dependencies to another, or share some resources, so you may end up with non-functional plugins if you delete too much :)
