@Gryfenfer97 ... you are right. Those files are considered complimentary of the vms. But it is true that most of them can be "rebuilt" from the *.dat files. I should check this first.

Then I think we can remove them, so the package size is smaller.

The files are still part of the package (and installed via the same wheel) - and hence the size of the pymapdl wheel is still larger than it ought to be. I'm reopening until that is addressed

ansys / pymapdl
