Several Content.ggpk Files

Hello there! My SSD drive can only hold so much, so im doing alittle cleaning;; I have three Content.ggpk files, in three different locations.

C:\Path of Exile (as expeected)
C:\Windows\System32
C:\Windows\SysWOW64

It seems rather weird theres 3 of them, and they are all ~5gigs.
Is it safe to delete the last 2 files located in \windows\?
Im not quite sure about having poe files in the system folders :/
does not sound logical, and i do not have anything with path of exile name related in my system

if i was you, i would remove them, but its only me :S


(not sure bout how SSD work though, talking bout hard drive here)

If you need any help at computers, or game related, feel free to ask!

Hacks are like tampons, Pussies always need one.

You can move them to other location and see what will happen. As far as I know SysWOW64 dir contains files that use 32 bit system on 64 bit system. So, in theory, if you delete content.ggpk from that folder you wouldn't be able to run POE on 64-bit system.
Sorry for my English, it's not my native language.

I believe it's the launcher temporarily storing a updated copy of the GGPK file before transferring it to where you have the game installed. (Obviously I'm talking about situations where the Launcher patches the game and the Launcher failing to delete the temporary copies)

I don't have them in either folder so you should be entirely safe to delete them.

If you wish transfer them onto a stick or external hd, then delete the ones you dont want and if you have issues you can reinstall from other location
