Reduce Genshin Impact file size by deleting voice packs

The most effective method to decrease the size of Genshin Impact is by removing additional voice packs the title automatically acquires over time.

HoYoverse lets players experience the game in several languages, including English, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese.

It comes as no surprise that each voice pack takes up considerable space. Across the several nations of Teyvat, countless NPCs and over sixty-eight playable characters have their unique voice lines, and even the quests have an abundance of dialogues.

A audio pack in the game comprises almost 4 GB of data. Hence, players can uninstall the unnecessary voice packs to get additional space on their devices.

The Manage Voice-Over Files option displays all the voice packs that have been downloaded so far. From this menu, delete the unrequired audio files.

Even though the size of the voice-over packs varies by language, players can at least clear 4 GB of data with this method. It is worth noting that the method to delete voice packs is the same on mobile and PC.
