Okay, so I don't use ANY of the default graphics for RPG Maker VX Ace, all of my sprites and music are original.
I don't need any of the extra stuff it lops in there when it compacts everything into one file so I can share it,
and I've found that it makes the file pretty massive compared to what it needs to be.
Is there any way I can get rid of all of this unnecessary stuff to bring down the size?
Deleting default resources?

When you click the Compress Game Data, just don't tick the box for "Include RTP Data". Then your game file won't contain any of the default RTP resources.

Yep, it's as easy as that.
If you don't even want to SEE it in your project, you can edit your Game.ini file, and remove the RPGVXAce from the RTP= line. Leave RTP= there - just remove what's after it.
Beware though - even though you may not THINK you're using any of it, if you remove that line, or uncheck the box to include RTP, you will likely end up with crashing, because some things are included by default in the scripts or in the System tab of the database. You will need to provide them, or replace them. -
Are you really sure you don't use a single file from RTP? Like Tileset, Balloon, Iconset, Battleback, Faceset, or anything else? Don't include RTP means you are really on yourself. Even SE like buzzer, confirm SE, move cursor SE, it won't be included. A single file will cause a crash if your game missing that file. So before do that, check if you really did not use any RTP file.
There's a better way to do this, Shaz has told you above,
you just need to replace the RTP file you use one by one until your game is not crashing because missing resource file. The easiest thing is, just copy all essential folder like battleback and system, and anything that you think you use the file inside it, then just' don;t copy the character, faceset, battler(if you think you don't use any of this), then absolutely don't copy the BGM folder(this is the massive file size contributor) :)you can edit your Game.ini file, and remove the RPGVXAce from the RTP= line. Leave RTP= <= blank -
Yeah, I think I'll do that just in case. Thanks :pAre you really sure you don't use a single file from RTP? Like Tileset, Balloon, Iconset, Battleback, Faceset, or anything else?
