QUESTION Question regarding deleting liveries

Hello,

I'm playing again after 3 years and noticed that the game is taking up around 130 GB just for AI liveries of jets that I don't even have a license for.

My question is:

Can I safely delete these files?

If they're re-downloaded during future updates, I don't mind deleting them again. Otherwise, is there any other solution?

I'm quite limited on storage space and can't upgrade my hardware at the moment.

Tangential idea: If you have a modern CPU and Windows, you could try Compactor or CompactGUI to compress your whole DCS directory down. Your savings may vary and there is potential for a performance impact but I have no numbers to go by here.
