    I recently opened a thread on the official wow forums as I was interested to know the official size of the current v6.1.2 (19865) April 3 2015 client as mine seemed rather inflated @ 31.5GB (to note, I have never reinstalled the client after reformatting and changing hdd's I have only ever copied and pasted since I first downloaded it years ago). Also the install on my laptop is a whopping 55GB and contains redundant *.mpq files and update files that are no longer needed, a previous update re structured the data files but for some reason did not run to clean up the install on my laptop.

    After re-downloading the entire client and assessing what a fresh install should look like I thought I would post it here for anyone interested.

    The Total Directory size is 27.4GB
    The viewable contents for World of Warcraft root are 74.4MB
    The viewable contents for World of Warcraft\Data are 68.5MB
    The viewable contents for World Of Warcraft\Data\data are 27.3GB

    Here are Screenshots of the contents of the root directory and the Data\data folder

    root; World of Warcraft:

    World of Warcraft\Data\data:

    As you can see there are only 28 "data.xxx" files numbered data.000 to data.027 and there are 200 ".idx" files in the World of Warcraft\Data\data directory

    N.B. I have not included The Cache, Errors, Interface, Logs, Screenshots and WTF Folders as these are created after the initial launch of the game. these can be copied from an older installation as you see fit; to keep your current cache and add-ons from previous installations
