 * Can I delete the contents of the Vendor folder, especially things like ‘Microsoft’,‘
   AWS’ etc which I don’t use with BackWPup. Is it just bloat that the plugin will
   continue to work without?
 * Also I’m still hoping/ waiting for the plugin to go back to the previous practice
   of backing up the site and all files in a single compressed file. It was much
   better and more intuitive and, I understood, we were promised it would be reinstated
   in an update.
 * Thanks!

 * Hello [@patboran](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patboran/),
   Thank you for
   reaching out.
 * It isn’t recommended to delete any files from the Vendor folder, as these are
   needed for the plugin to function correctly, even if certain services aren’t 
   actively used. Removing them could cause unexpected errors.
 * We’ve already made improvements to reduce the plugin size and will continue to
   optimize it in future updates.
 * Regarding the combined backup, a single job for files and the database is planned
   for the next update, so you’ll have this workflow available again soon.
 * Thank you for sticking with us, and let me know if you need anything else.
 * Best regards,
