The constant updates and expansions have been a blessing in terms of content, but the increasing file size has become quite the challenge on my device.

This guide will show you how to manage storage efficiently for games like Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail, which tend to expand with each update, posing a challenge especially for mobile gamers due to space constraints. HoYoverse provides solutions to remove unnecessary game data, although some features are only available on mobile devices at the moment. Here’s how to free up space for future updates and minimize the overall game size for these popular titles.

How to reduce your Game Size in HoYoverse games

1. Deleting Past Quest Resources

How to Delete Past Quest Resources in Honkai Star Rail

Open Honkai: Star Rail and log in.
Access the main menu and tap the Settings icon (gear icon).
Navigate to the Account tab (fourth option from the left).
Find the Resource Management section.
Switch the option for Auto-delete past mission resources? from No to Yes.

Additional Notes

Only data from quests you’ve already completed will appear here.
If you start a new account, you’ll need to redownload the quest data to access those quests again.
Be cautious when using this feature, as some players have reported persistent redownload prompts when switching back to their main account.
If you need the resources back, repeat the steps above and select Download Resources Again instead of uninstalling.

2. Removing Language Voice-Over Files

Another way to reduce file size is by uninstalling unnecessary language voice-over files:

Open the menu and go to Settings.
Select Language.
Tap Manage Voice-Over Files.
Choose the language(s) you don’t use and press Uninstall.

Should you find yourself running low on storage due to the game, consider deleting and then reinstalling it as this may aid in reducing its file size. It’s a drastic measure but could prove beneficial.
