Installing new updates doesn't overwrite old ones and occupies double the space. #21

When installing updates, older updates are not uninstalled and still consume space on the device. Goldleaf does not have this issue as it detects and overwrites old updates.

Ideally there should be a tool to scan and detect obsolete updates. Currently, you have to manually open each title in Goldleaf or DBI and check them.

Why not use Lithium, Tinfoil, or DBI that does not have this issue?

I need the PC-side UI of NS-USBLoader where I can select only a few files to be transferred to the Switch. It's a pain to scroll through thousands of files on the Switch in the other apps.

Boot tinfoil or lithium, connect usb cable, a MTP device shows up on your PC, copy the NSP/NSZ you want to install to the install folder in the MTP device and they install while picking from the PC side.

I'll try that, thanks. Still, it's a bug to be fixed. Is there a way to clean up duplicate updates that are already installed?

blawar commented 3 years ago

You're right, it is a bug. And I will fix it eventually, its just a low priority.

Rebooting your switch will reclaim the space.

I used Lithium 11.00 and pasted a file in Install folder over MTP. Nothing happens after it's done. I can't see any existing files in the Install folder either. The other folders like Firmware and System have existing files.
