    I rely on the chat logs to check things. I see that I am missing the gauntlets of courage and gloves of truth, so went back to my chatlog folder to check last months log and see if I forgot to finish those quests.

    There are only the last four chatlogs in there.

    You should have warned us that you were going to delete this very, very, very valuable information so we could make a backup of it before you deleted it!!!

    I'll watch for this, but it's a very bad idea if intentional. Perhaps worse if so by being unannounced. 30 years ago that amount of data might have mattered, now it's just pocket fluff.

    Yes, I'm not sure why there is an assumption here that we did this intentionally...
    I'm not a HUGE fan of how W10 is handling all their updates, I will say that! I understand they are trying to cut down on complications and such, but it's a bit different from how they handled prior versions...
    For the time being I would make back ups of chatlogs.

    I turned on compression for the chatlogs folder - every MB counts for old schoolers like me :)
