~/valheim-server/data/dl/server/ is a 2gb waste of space on a running server #699

Deleting the following folder while server is live saves 2gb of space and does not appear to break the game.

~/valheim-server/data/dl/server/

I'm assuming this is what downloads the data when server is started. If this folder could be deleted after the server starts (and I have a script to do this), it would save space, but it seems to redownload itself.

Could this be optimized? Optimizing this could save money for folks hosting on Amazon if you need less disk space.
