It's not gonna be easy, but I'm sick of missing out on the latest and coolest games just because I don't have enough memory left on my phone, due to me not wanting to let go of my games. I might go on GameFAQs or something and make a "If this gets x comments, I'll do y" topic. I'm sorta afraid, but it has to e done sooner or later. What do you all think?
Yeah, you're absolutely right. It's just that I like those games, it just play them when I get around to it. Like, "Man, I'm in the mood for some ___ right now."
Remove I'm the same way I tend to hoard apps. I have a simple system for removing games: if I haven't Played a game in a month it gets booted off.
Try selecting "purchased" in iTunes on your computer. DL everything, then purge away. DL either iExplorer or IFunBox, both of which let you manually explore the file system without being jailbroken; that way you can retrieve save games. I know with iExplorer, you could create a backup now through iTunes, and then (I think) manually extract you apps. I really need to purge my ITunes app collection. I'm almost at 12k apps now
Everything you bought is still in your account. If you don't have hours and hours in a savegame file, nothing is lost by deleting. Purge the old and make room for the new!
Except for premium games that change to freemium or add advertisements. Then you get that dev bullhockey about "previous purchasers won't be affected"; which really means "if you haven't unintalled the app".
Thank you very much for the info, bet I have two questions. Is it guaranteed to work for every game? And do I have to download the games onto the iTunes on PC?
I already new about the purchase list. And not all games save your data when you delete it. That's my main concern with this. If all of them had icloud, I can delete them with no problem or regrets.
Unfortunately not all games have icloud saves,so same games that you have put a lot of time into (unlocking items,leveling up,etc.) will be lost forever.
For games that use gamecenter, I delete the games towards the bottom of the list which is the not recently played games. I do keep ~60 games on my iPod of my absolute favorites from different genres and just delete the rest. In the end, there's just so many new games coming out that realistically, I'm not going to replay most games I've played once through.
