    Can we get a delete character appearance option?

    Quite a few players have managed to occupy all 40 character slots. This doesn't necessarily mean that each character appearance will be used. Could they just give an option to delete character data on both PC and console? I'm surprised they never gave us an option to delete character data we no longer need. Sometimes you don't want to just override and only want to clean up

    Are you though? Are you really surprised that Square Enix's Final Fantasy XIV is lacking useful UI functionality?

    They’re stored locally aren’t they? You should be able to simply delete the file.

    This. And for PS4 players, how can we do ? We cannot see files on console, and there are some files I will be glad to remove as well.

    There is a place for character data on the PS4. Let me check that and see if I can figure out where it was.

    Edit: It is under Storage > Saved Data > FF XIV. If I were a betting man, I'd say it's the System Data file, but I'm not about to delete it and see for myself. I do know that rids my PS4 version of its macros and hotbars at the very least because I've had that become corrupt before.

    Possibly, but it's the most likely candidate for what they are after. Deleting that file is akin to throwing a nuke at one's character everything.

    Quick look and I see in my Win10 User folder:
    • C:\Users\<WINDOWS_USER_ACCOUNT_NAME>\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn
    FFXIV_CHARA_01.dat
    And 14 more of these, using the sequential number after the "CHARA_" part of the file name.
    I happen to have 15 saved Character Appearance on my computer, so I would say these are it.
