Remove previous versions after updating

Open TheMulti0 opened this issue 6 years ago • 4 comments

Title

Remove previous versions after updating.

For some reason, the beautiful new Rainway 1.0 client keeps previous builds after updating itself, meaning that it stores extra storage for no reason.

Steps

  • Open Rainway

  • Update Rainway

What happens

Rainway updates itself, but the previously installed version/s remain

Image

What is expected

Rainway will update itself, and delete its previously installed version/s.

Host

  • OS: Windows 10 Pro
  • Version: Fall Creators Update 16299

Browser

None.

Logs

None (can't find it on the new client).

IIRC the updater saves the last 3 versions in case we need to rollback. Then it deletes.

@AnthonyM : please confirm that saving of previous versions is a feature, not a bug, and update the label on this. Thanks!

@Codeusa Turns out it saves more: image. Is it really nessecary? I don't like storing a few hundred megabytes of older Rainway versions on my SSD for nothing.

@TheMulti0 can you inspect the older folders and see if they are (near) empty? It may just be an improper cleanup.
