I don't know if this is an error others have run across. I'm pretty new to the game (but learning fast!) and have fooled around with several different worlds. To reduce clutter, I deleted a load of files in the ./data/save folder and kept right on going.

I've done that a few times, but after my most recent purge, I started up dwarf fortress and my computer went nuts and shut down. I had to retrieve everything from the recycle bin in order to get DF to load normally, but now I'm stuck with a bunch of clutter. How do I get my Vogon Interstellar By-Pass Construction Crew to reduce them all to cinders and make way for progress without crashing my whole shit?

In other words... what file(s) did I delete from the ./data/save folder that I should not have?

So I deleted all the contents of the .data/save folder, but left an empty "current" and "region 1" folder in there. It's working fine now. I don't know if it was a fluke or if leaving the empty folders made a difference.

I think the problem was the "current" folder.  It's not an actual save folder, it's just something DF uses, to my knowledge.
