SMALLER Unreal Engine Installs! Recover 20+ GB
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ก.ย. 2024
- In this Two-Minute Tuesday tutorial we cover how to save disk space by optimizing our Unreal Engine installs. We can easily recover 20gb of space per version of Unreal. This is especially handy if you have several versions of Unreal installed like I do.
Keep in mind, this only applies to those of you NOT doing mobile gamedev work.

Holy cow this video needs to be on the Epic launcher. Thanks for the tip
Yeeeeeeeeeeees!! Thanks William!
Cheers man!
The word about this NEEDS to be spread. I'm glad more UE4 Devs are talking about it, because it's such a hidden gem of a feature. Thank you!
Another great video William! Finally taking the plunge into Unreal, looking forward to the journey!
this might be the best tutorial I’ve seen in months. So useful, and in only 2 min. Well done, man.
William became the UE4's meditation and inspiring ❤️ I really feel the value of internet when i see new notification from you man.. Thanks
Awesome, super useful and to the point- Best type of tutorial :)
Thank you!
2mins and I've essentially gained a small SSD worth of space!
Thank you so much my MSI laptop went from 145gb to 22gb, but now when i used your method its now 170gb to 125gb
I like that little timer in the bottom left
Gotta keep two-minute tuesday under 2 minutes!
Dear LORD !! The amount of space I've saved in all my five versions on UE4 is astounding !! Thank you Willaim !!
Awesome thanks William!! If you could also do a video on how to clean up project and optimize and reduce up space that would be so appreciated. But thank you so much for all valuable info you post!
I love these short but undoubtedly useful tips and tricks.
Thank you!
You content creation criteria and quality is always awesome!
Thanks for the reminder, I got 40GB because 2 UE installations :) !
How you make every video completely essential is amazing. Colour me jealous
Haha thanks so much!
Bro, my single ue5 uas 70+, i had everything checked! I erased a bunch of files for nothing! You are a lifesaver man!
Oh my goodness thank you! When I started installing Unreal I was looking at my drivers and the gigabytes were going down so fast i thought I caught a virus but it was just Unreal installing those extra options.
Thank you so much!!!!!!!! I have freed up 59GB!!!!! woowsers!!! Now I have to remember to recheck them when I develop for Mobile :)
Man, just discovered it by accident yesterday and now youtube recommending this vid to me. A little bit too late for me, but I'm sure it will be very handy for so many other people.
Wow so simple but so effective, thank you William!
many thanks William for sharing all your knowledge
The pleasure's mine!
I'm here after Clint 's Stream yesterday and man i'm so glad i visited your channel def sub now. This little trick is so neat , i get 150gb free space WOW, thnx a lot mate👌 _Keep up the _*_GREAT_*_ work👍_
Thanks so much, and welcome to the (small) community!
your 2 mins just bought me 40gb hard drive, thank you!
Wow I use unreal for years and didn't knwo about it. Thanks for the tip!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! Oh wow ... I was about to buy a new hard drive to be sure I have enough space for my projects. Now I just gained 42GB of space on the drive I have!
about to finally get an upgrade to that 1660 super
will be going right top end
thenits back to rewatching a lot a guess whose vids
love ya man keep up great works
It saved 45gb for me....I have 4.27 and UE5...I love you for this tips... thanks a ton...you always amaze me..
great video my man! It's always a great idea to check the defaults
Thanx Buddy. Just removed 70Gig of unwanted resources, without removing any assets or disturbing the workflows - Always good to check in. Keep it up man!
Hyy Buddy is this an after installation process?
Cuz while I starting download the unreal engine it doesn't show any option
Please let me know 👍🏻
Hey William, life saver!, there's also a BUG with the launcher regarding this.>> in my case I had 200+ Gb only with 5.0 and 4.27Chaos. after checking this options in each menu, the options were already unchecked. so, these packs were installed, but the launcher wasn't showing the right status of the installs. so I unchecked and checked the ones I wanted and click apply, so the launcher did some refresh and cleaned the files. so it worked as expected. so for those out there wondering, ignore what the launcher says, click and uncheck those options again.
Thanks man, had same issue here. I checked and unchecked the boxes again... problem solved! Much appreciated!
I love your videos man, pls also make tutorials on making great cinematics in UE5 😍, I'm sure everyone wants this.
Thanks! I will once UE5 is officially released. In its current Early Access, things are bound to change and be updated, so I won't bother until things are locked down :)
EXCELLENT tip William!
i've just made the same expression as yours the moment i saw the result William. Boom! knowledge
I already know this but thanks for sharing with the community
Cheers!
Thank you so much, i'm in the same case with few version of unreal installed. and boom, 80gb saved.
Amazing! Thanks Will!
wanted to leave this advice here for anyone having the same issue: sometimes ue5 installs with all the 100+ GB even though everything is unchecked in the installer. check one of the options, hit apply, let that download, uncheck that option, and hit apply again. once that is done it will give you back all the GB and install the 30-something GB version.
I knew this, but anyway it's a helpful video.
Also, UE has a lot of plug-ins turned on by default. Much of them aren't necessary for most UE users. But I don't know if there is any reason to turn them off, because I shut down some of them and didn't notice any improvements in CPU usage in the UE editor.
It starts to get important as soon as you start packaging your game / app. Especially for mobile it can help to decrease the app size drastically.
These plugins are mostly for functionality reasons, they do not actively computing anything so there will be no afect on CPU or GPU use.
BRO IS A LEGEND deserves a sub tbh
Man your videos are always super useful no matter what you are covering...
Hi Will, massive fan and love your work. Thanks so much for the tip! My hard drive and me say thanks! Quick tip from an audio boffin: Put a high pass filter on your videos below 60ish Hz, there was some few very low thumps and the low end of an air conditioner / computer hum. You don't really need audio information down there for your videos so would recommend cutting that information. You could consider a subtle gate as well to reduce the background noise when you are not speaking. Thanks again bro!
Hi there! Thanks so much for the advice! This video was the first video recorded with my new Deity S-Mic 2, and it's a whole heck of a lot more sensitive than my previous mic, still getting the hang of how to use it properly. I've since added noisegate, and bought a shock mount to help with the thumps. Great advice about high pass filtering anything below 60hz tho, I appreciate it!
@@WilliamFaucher My pleasure Will, hope you have a nice Christmas lined up :) Thanks again

I'm skeptical of the actual numbers here, seems like a bit much, I unfortunately didn't check how much ACTUAL disk space I had before clearing the mobile dev stuff unfortunately. But yes, it WILL help :)
