Can I Remove the Activity, Path, Services & Traffic Files for Europe 1 & 2, and Japan 1 & 2, & USA1 from the Program or Will it cause Problems? I Know I Have to Keep the Routes Themselves for Scenery and other Items But I Don't Intend to Use those Routes at all Ever! Also Will it Cause Problems in TSRE Consist Editor?
Thankyou,
DaveK
I've removed all the original routes that came with MSTS years ago. I have them zipped up in a folder with all the other routes I have made over the years. I've never seen any difference in how anything loads.
Years ago most routes were built that depended on common files shared between routes. As long as you are not doing anything like that you'll be fine.
If you go this route it might be an idea to also save a copy of the Trains folder that contains the Trainset and Consist folders. There may be things you need out of it if you download older motive power from the library... some still use the common cab and sound folders, and you may have to fo into the MSTS GP-38 folder for it's sounds.
Paul,
I Keep the Various Cab and Sound Folders in A Separate Folder to Use ON Locomotive Downloads as well as Having them in Common Cab & Common Sound Folders. But I Still Have the Original MSTS Routes in my Train Simulator Folder Since A Lot of My Downloaded Routes Require the Original MSTS Route Files to Operate.

Going back to the original question, it would definitely be safe to delete the Activity, Services & Traffic files from a route you don't plan to run activities on.
I'd keep paths just in case you want to explore.
If the concern is TSRE load times, the next update will have a setting to skip the check done against existing activities as well as another setting to skip checking consists.
If you like what you see here at Trainsim.com, be it the discussions and knowledge in the forums, or items available in our library, I hope you'll consider a paid membership to help support keeping the site operating.... Thanks!
