Abnormal gta3

hi

i don't know whether this problem has appeared to others or not.

i have checked a few sites , the recommended hard disk space for gta3 is 500mb, but when i

checked the size of gta 3 folder(right-click on the folder , then properties in win7 ) , it shows

size : 1.20gb , size on disk :1.20gb , which is more than double the recommended space.

we all know that every kb counts when we have limited or small storage.

what is the reason for this gigantism of folders ?

how can i reduce the size ? i don,t want to compress the folder , are there any solns to my

problem ? you're always welcome to help.
