Today when starting the eve launcher and starting the download of the latest patch, I got a message saying that I needed to free up space on the hard disk containing Eve. No biggie I figured, I'll just move some stuff around as needed. While preping the most effecent transfer, I noticed that the CCP folder weighed 36.6 Gigs, and the patch was asking for just under another gig. While this isnt too much of a thing to deal with, it got me wondering- What doesn't eve need?

So now to my post, what fat can be stripped from the client folder that will not comprise eve, or counter the Eula in terms of client modifications?

36 Gigs is much bigger than necessary. I have a clean install right now and it is just over 10 Gigs. If you see any patch files in the main folder you can get rid of them. other than that, you could try to delete and do a clean install. There may be people with better answers as I am just giving my suggestions.
