    If it is a clean client then the only thing you have to delete is the $Patch$ folder, it is the torrent the client was extracted from so it has no other purpose right now. NCsoft keeps it just because they use it to make you seed the client for other people. Once you delete that, the client will be around 26gb in size

    Edit: If it doesn't let you delete it, run task manager and kill the ncsoftupdatehelper.exe process in the processes tab

    Inside your aion folder, but you can delete it from the ncwest folder too xd If you wanna be safe, instead of deleting, copy it outside so you have it as a backup. If you don't get errors, you can delete it.

    Turning off peer-to-peer in the ncsoft launcher helps greatly to prevent any errors related to this.

    I delete it to save space and haven't had issues so far. If you use the folder for gamez, my suggestion is renaming it to something other than Aion so you break the ncsoft launcher link. It is not needed for gamez and causes unnecessary problems with your client not matching retail one and the ncsoft launcher trying to fix it up every time.

    The one in NCwest is a patch folder for the launcher itself, not for the game xd
