Preferences: Pre-2024 runtimes cannot be deleted inside 2024.x IDEs (and because they're not shown, might be easy to waste disk space) #5018

Open gnysek opened 6 months ago

gnysek commented 6 months ago

Description

Since project format changes, 2024.2+ IDE doesn't support older runtimes.

However, that means we can't delete them from IDE too, and they might remain on disk forever.

Would be nice if they are still visible and we can't delete them, but cannot activate anymore.

(This might be a Feature Request rather than bug...)

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Go to Preferences > Runtime Feeds > Master
  2. There will be only 2024.2.0.163 runtime
  3. Open C:\ProgramData\GameMakerStudio2\Cache\runtimes
  4. There's probably at least 2023.11.x and maybe few previous runtimes there, each using 0,5-0,8 GB of disk space

Which version of GameMaker are you reporting this issue for?

IDE v2024.2.0.132 Runtime v2024.2.0.163

Which operating system(s) are you seeing the problem on?

Windows 10.0.22631.0

You can obviously just delete them immediately in Explorer/Finder/whatever Ubuntu uses - but yes, you might not know that they're there taking up this space.

That's how I found they are still on disk ;)
