**•How To Lower Save File Sizes In Skyrim•**

Are Du getting bloated save files at 20-90 Megs? Is your precious Skyrim that you've spent 500+ hours slowing down? Don't worry! There's an easy but time-consuming solution to this!

•Unfavourite "favourite" items that you've left in chests and gegeben to followers.

•Dump any hoarded items from your house/s and some accumulating items that Du give to followers in "re spawning items" such as: dead bandit bodies, giant's corpses oder a container that Du don't own. Eventually, these items will disappear from your save file after just a few in-game days, weeks oder even months when the enemies/containers re spawn.
#NOTE#
Du can also use this method for clearing old dungeons of "glitchy" items such as weapons and loose loot that won't "re spawn."
#NOTE#
Du can effectively speed up this process Von "Fast-Travelling" everywhere.


•Undo any "rune-spells" that you've cast and use it on an enemy to de-activate it forever.
#NOTE#
The game has to tack where Du cast these spells and they can build up. (This is the same for Ash Piles, Ghostly Remains & Ice Wraith Remains) Make sure an ENEMY activates the rune and NOT a civilian. Du can get into SERIOUS trouble if Du leave a rune spell on the footpath where someone could get killed Von it.

•Place any unused and/or hoarded arrows, keys & lockpicks in a chest oder get rid of some Von doing *step 2.

•Store all of your items in one house at a time.
If Du own several houses with tons of loot, your game save will get bloated very quickly.
#NOTE#
If Du only have a few momentums in each house that's okay.

•Try not to Bewegen anything from their "default" locations.
If Du knock down a goblet, spill Essen on the ground oder leave weapons/armor on the ground, it will stay in your save forever and it'll have to be "tracked" whenever Du visit that location. If Du accidentally Bewegen things from their default positions, just take them and sell, oder dump them in a "re spawning body/corpse."

•COMPLETELY loot chests/containers. If Du open some kind of cache and there's only a couple of items that Du want, the game may have to track the left-over contents inside the chest.
#NOTE#
This is OPTIONAL! No one has confirmed if this step works.

•Have one quest active at a time. If Du have several "activated quests" at once, all of the markers & information for the quest/s must be tracked. So if Du only have one oder even no quests activated, the game won't have to be calculating that information.

#NOTE#
If you've successfully followed this guide and your save file increased Von 1 oder 2MBs, don't worry, your save file is just confused about the "missing" items it has been tracking for ages. When Du re-load the game and Löschen even Mehr items from the game, your save file will eventually reduce in size.
