Deleting everything, especially crappy skins that gives a weird feel to the gameplay. (one map had an 8-bit pokemon skin, that was when I started to delete everyting)

i delete BG to use Flashlights in longs songs..

I delete everything all day erry day. Having anything other from default skin seriously makes me angry.

wether i'm playing competitively (solo) or casually(multi), i awlays have my song folder open so i can delete_every_single_visuals.
any form of visuals that aren't essiential part of the gameplay should not be there in the first place.
i don't delete custom histounds tough.but mostly beacause they never bother me,not beacause i like them.

Im playing with a blank background(black). I just rename it the title name for ex: 'BG' changed to 'BG(space)asdassadasd' instead of delete the BG, SB or other elements

Skin elements, only if they're obnoxious and annoying to play with.

Other than that, no.

I NEVER delete elements. I changed quite a few options in osu! and everything runs fine. Even on my 2-year-old laptop running osu! from a 1TB External HDD.

I'm doing following everytime:
Renaming Background name from BG to BGa, renaming osb file from xxxxx.osb to xxxxxa.osb. And when i want to take it back, i just rename files to original names.

Deleting by rename only if it distracts me from getting easy hit after 5-10 tries. After getting good result, I'm returning it back. Otherwise, no.

Personally I think that "most" players in osu! don't delete all the elements. Some just like they way it looks and don't go straight into #1 on super insane's, others simply "respect" the mapper's work and keep it even if it may be so bad "created", some people maybe don't even know how to do it, or don't even think about it.

I played without deleting anything for a year and was "happy" untill I realised that deleting/replacing some stuff can help me improve on some maps. Although in the end if you play the map 100000 times you can for sure play even blind and nothing will disturb you since you just memorized everything, but using "this" just makes it less frustrating. I am sure that this issue with deleting anything about the map itself mostly concerns only people who try to get higher rank / top 40 at least.

So actually there are for sure not SO many people doing that, but I guess for people like me and I guess it's the minority, it is very "important" to have such a "freedom" to delete anything, or replace with our own, of course except for music/video.

I did not even know it was possible to delete elements from a beatmap. Although the poll ended before I even knew osu! existed, I still have something to say to reply here. If I do choose to delete elements, it would be these:

Video Backgrounds: Nothing personal about it. I would delete videos from the background to save space on my hard drive.

Background Images: Up until now I had completely deleted several beatmaps from my library because of an image in the background. Now that I know I can delete the background image itself, it shouldn't happen anyone. No examples of what I have deleted will be given --because everyone has different opinions on what is offensive material, this is irrelevant anyway.

Just Look my signature.

I delete every ".jpg, .png, .osb, .avi, .flv, .wmv, .mpg" file... It's so annoying play with BG or SB (I don't delete BG when exist a black circle, damn with it)
Neruell
Btw I don't mind even redownloading everything again after deleting but mostly after I have achieved everything I wanted since it does look way more beautiful with all the elements.

When osz2 comes, a lot of people just leave the game... I think.

I know 2 people that already know how to do it. js
Neruell
well it would be bannable then and even though most people wont risk it then but anyway "when osz2 will come" I hear that since 2 years and since then nothing happened. Till it really comes out people will for sure leave osu.

Well, just play THIS in CTB with Hidden and that annoying SB, it's impossible.

I delete everything every time when the map's BG isn't related to the song in any way. ztrot
Disturbing SB isn't really an issue since I'd have to play the map at least once before trying a real score anyway, and then I could just disable it.

Never.

Not much point to now anyways. I have a 40 GB Harddrive. If you're complaining your maps take up too much space, then you need to consider removing other content from your HDD.

This necro. lol
Anyway, there is no sense to delete Map Elements anymore because you-know-why.

I sometimes change the health drain.(to make it easier) I like seeing how i can "level up" my health drain and eventually pass on the song's default health drain.

I never delete map elements! I play the maps the way it's designed to play.
Espionage724
Nope.

well, I delete video when transferring beatmaps over to my tablet for osu!droid, but that's only because videos are useless there anyway
