Like a lot of people here, I have every skin downloaded by LFS since I first played the game.

Although it's good to have as many skins that are in use local on your hard drive in case they're needed. I must have so many that are old and will never be used again, they may not even be on LFSW anymore.

What about a system where LFS checks once a month if all of the skins are on LFSW or not, if they're not, they are deleted (or if not deleted, sent to a compressed folder or something). This would free up tons of space on many hard drives around the world.

+1. I agree!

It has been suggested.

yes I know, I just suggested it.

....about 12 months before you did...

until it happens, why not just delete your skinsx folder every couple of months and then create another ?, i know its going to use credits if your using high res skins but you could always just delete any low res skins and if you are on high res, i'd suggest you may as well keep the skins since you've paid for them

personally i'm not that bothered about how huge the folder gets

to be honest I'm not really worried how much space it takes, however I have noticed it takes a long time to virus scan my LFS folder.
