Give it a short moment of reflection. The reason isnt spooky - it's just that
you have probably NOT continued to build the search booster and for this
normally helping file your new games are inexistent. For this case you made the
half-true advise that the file should be deleted. But give it another moment of
reflection. Isnt it second-best to delete a big and helpful file only because
you didnt add a couple of new games? The correct solution is always updating
this booster file.
