Doom Eternal Screenshot Allocation Bloating Drives
For the past few months I've noticed my computer's drive rapidly being filled up. Nothing I could do would stop it. I resorted to using a visualizer, and I learned the biggest chunk of my OS drive was Saved Games. Doom Eternal had created a whopping 25 gigabytes of screenshots, with each file being 6mb in size. This was seperate from Steam's screenshot system. Deleting these files instantly took me from 900mb of 120 to 25. It was a night and day difference. Thing is, I don't know how to stop this. Is there a way to stop Eternal from creating these screenshots?

What's the exact directory of this folder? I'm not seeing a Doom Eternal folder in any of my AppData subdirectories (Local, LocalLow, Roaming).

Oh, my bad. It wasn't Appdata. The actual location is users/(my profile)/saved games/id software/Doom Eternal/base/screenshots.

Not very often. most of the screenshots were from gameplay.

Interesting. I've taken quite a few screenshots myself and my folder isn't being all bloated up like yours is.
