I was trying to make some extra room on my SSD and noticed my AMD folder takes up 16gb because it has all of the previous driver folders. I'm wondering if I just move everything to my HDD would it do anything to my performance? I have a RX 480 and do a bit of gaming and I'm not really sure if this would affect anything. Would I be able to just delete the old folders leaving the 2 most recent ones w/o having any issues?

what about the 10gb folder called packages? 10 of 16gb is in this folder. Once you go into this folder it breaks down so you can obviously tell which files are related to current drivers, but i'm wondering if I can delete all of the contents. Is this folder just used during installation or do I need to only erase the older drivers files.

well, even after deleting everything except for 17.3.1 / 17.3.2 / 17.3.3 in all of the folders it went down to under 3gb. Decided to just keep the previous 2 versions, but still freed up more than enough room. I can live with under 3gb of video drivers. I just saw your reply, i'll just erase the other stuff in packages and keep the install files of the previous 2 versions then just in case I might need anything. thanks.
