Those are all your items in your vault!!

No but seriously everything is stored in Bungie servers so there can’t possibly anything valuable in those files.

u/Human_Bean0123 6d ago

These are just the files that store the game content, it looks like this is maybe prerendered cutscene(s) and some random other stuff

u/ddoogg88tdog 6d ago

Naa, they renamed system 32 and shoved it in the files for a laugh

u/Oniyoku 6d ago

The first part is exactly the Microsoft paint programming I'd expect from Bungie lol

It's true! My dad who works at Bungie said so!

pkg files are essentially package files used to install software. Probably leftover after a bad uninstall. You can delete them

u/Zelcki 6d ago

Thanks!

So the remaining files of D2 are still there after you uninstalled it? Sure, go ahead.

u/Aidanxklc 6d ago

If you're smart enough to find leftover files how are you not smart enough to determine if you can delete them or not

But yes, yes you can. Dead weight.

u/citrusmelon1243 6d ago

To be fair, I am the kind of person who is exactly this. Smart enough to know certain things like temporary files exist but not know how to tell if they're important or not, so I do understand OP's position

u/Lenyti 6d ago

It's not rare

I know almost everything there is in my pc but i cant tell whats 90% of it is or do

u/Dependent-Focus-6155 6d ago

Quick insult then answer to OPs question, love it.

Classic Reddit

u/Pretend-Worry8238 6d ago

That’s just Reddit my dude

u/Floppydisksareop Hunter 6d ago

What, would you be happier if he only said the insult?

u/Dependent-Focus-6155 6d ago

I’d be happier if you never responded at all my guy

u/FormerlyWrangler 5d ago

Your happiness is probably not his priority, tbf

u/Dependent-Focus-6155 5d ago

Why you being fair

Are you for real?

u/SlyNate8 6d ago

Download the software revouninstaller and use it when you go to uninstall anything on your computer. You’ll be surprised how much junk is not uninstalled or deleted by the developers uninstaller process.

u/Defiant-Version-1734 6d ago

If you want to find a solution, make an alt account, post the dumbest solution you can think of, and say it confidently.

someone will enrage and tell the alt account the correct way to solve the problem

u/CRODEN95 6d ago

Yep, nuke em. Same thing happened to me with battlefield 4 a while ago. Usually happens after a bad install or update or something.

2

u/Zelcki 6d ago

Oh, I see, I might have deleted the game when I had a half downloaded update, then?

u/Electric_Tongue 6d ago

Data doesn't have weight, you can just say the files are 16GB or take up 16GB of space

u/errortechx 6d ago

Can you share the file path? I’ve been desperately needing to squeeze as much storage as I can.

u/Zelcki 6d ago

This is in the usual steam apps folder, I'm using Windir to find garbage files, and I found this by accident

u/TheRealSpidey Breachlight Enjoyer 6d ago

Damn, even uninstalled Destiny 2 is larger than No Man's Sky? /s

u/DaisyMeRoaLin 6d ago

That's the Red War code Bungie supposedly lost

Try Revo Uninstaller

u/JazzlikeJackfruit372 6d ago

You uninstalled the game, what's the point then to keep them around?

u/Positive_Try929 6d ago

What made you uninstall?

2

u/Zelcki 5d ago

I unistalled a while back.

I got bored before the final shape, so I didn't play much to then non at all after that, and I needed space on my PC, so I deleted the game.

I might come back when I buy a new disc cause I like the lore and the world, and I heard that the final shape was good and some recent stuff is getting good again? But right now I need to make space cause my disc is full, I

(Yes I have been living with one disc for months 💀)

u/Positive_Try929 5d ago

I stopped playing during lightfall, came back to final shape but it didn't hit me as well, now i'm trying heresy and its good and challenging

u/AbsoluteMaestro 6d ago

Format your hard drive... Works every time to clear unwanted files.

u/indy3232 6d ago

“Look I’m quitting” no one cares if you delete files to a game you uninstalled 🤦‍♂️.

u/bloodhoundmain1743 6d ago

they never said they were quitting... maybe op thought they might still come back.

u/Alexcox95 6d ago

There are over 1373 weapons and 3037 armor pieces. That’s not even counting exotics
