I am in a shared hosting environment and need to reduce the Memory fooprint of my DNN v4.8.2 install by deleting unused DLLs in the bin folder. Which ones can be deleted (and what are the conditions for being able to safely delete each one). Any guidance would be of help.

Thanks

This is a tricky task if you are not familar with the DNN system, you cannot remove any core DNN dll's or any dll's for modules that are currently in use.  However, if you removed the module, and didn't check "delete fles" you will have leftovers in there.  Just be sure to take a backup, and I STRONGLY recommend doing it one by one if you are not familar with it, or having someone more versed with DNN complete the task for you.

  • if you installed big modules like core modules Forums, Store, Blog, Repository or Events and you know you don't use them in any portal of your installation, you can savely delete the modules in Host :: Module Defintions from the upper list and will reduce memory footprint - most of the smaller modules do not take much memory, check their size in /bin folder for a rough guess.
  • other memory will be taken by caching, if kept in memory. in this case, you can switch to file based caching, but this will affect performance.
