Delete unneeded hillshading data

[kds112]

I have downloaded several maps (with relief data) for holiday reasons. I don't need them anymore and I have deleted them. The BRouter data can be deleted (manually) as well, but what about the relief data? Is it possible to delete the unnecessary relief data as well?

Currently there is no such function.
Although hillshading data does not take up much space compared to maps.

We can think about such a function.

Great! Maybe a general delete function for all "unneeded" data (relief, BRouter, cache, something else?) ? 👍

We can think about such a function.

What about a simple "query" for the user (checkboxes?) asking wether to delete hillshading and/or BRouter data also when deleting downloaded offline maps?

But you have to check overlapping areas between two maps, e.g. France and Germany. Relief and BRouter data is shared near to the common border between the two maps...

Worldwide terrain data ~70GB in case you were wondering 💾

@MotoUKRider Have you downloaded them?! What quality, 3" ?

[MotoUKRider]

@devemux86 Yes, I had them before Cruiser required them. I use them to build my BaseCamp maps. The added bonus was during initial tests of v5, the Desktop app "just worked" as I already had any map area I loaded 😄

@MotoUKRider Where did you get them?

We also provide them now in Mapsforge server.

@devemux86 When I began building last May with the UK map, I found ViewFinderPanoramas to get a couple of tiles but then Bailu.ch made it easier to get the entire contents.
