Should I clean my esp/esm files?

[Sidereel]

I installed all my mods, 221 active plugins not counting the 50-70 I merged, but I forgot to clean the esm files and mod files. My game is running really stable right now. Several hours playing and no crashes. Should I clean them, or should I not risk it and just leave them be?

If your game is stable you don't need to clean them up.

usually cleaning the esp/esm (except for the bad developed ones) is pretty much useless.

(You just save a few KB of memory for the wrong variables and references. And maybe you gain a few seconds on the loading because the mods do not have to be compared when unnecessary.)

I'll leave them be then. Thanks for the help.
