I originally had the news folder as an option, but when I browsed it, I was not sure what could be kept and what what could not be kept, or should be kept.
If someone could do some research on a league that is a few years old and see how deleting files from this folder affects the OOTP program, then I can add the ability to do those folders.

I can tell you that I deleted everything in those news\txt\leagues and news\txt\teams folders, knowing exactly what I was doing, and my game runs fine and game file space needs are way down.
However: 1) This is my game only, a sample of one - hardly scientific, and 2) I made the choice not to have any of this stuff available and I have not missed it. Others may want some of it, hence my continued urging to be careful about deleting folder contents without looking. Your approach seems to address that concern, however, by not deleting but moving stuff to another folder.
Anyway, my final word on this matter: Caution.
