These are the hillshading tiles used in e.g. http://hikebikemap.de
It would be very sad if we would need to delete them.
AIUI, River was just asking who *could* free space, not pushing anybody to do so for useful stuff.
Colin, how completed is the rendering of the hillshading tiles? I remember that it was still running on cassini when it got re-purposed.
I don't remember exactly, I got Europe and a part of Asia down to zoom 15, with parts down to 16 I think, and North America to zoom 14 or some such. I always wanted to make the rendering dynamic (and then never expire the tiles), but it would need a post-processing task in either renderd or tirex (the latter seems a bit more suited for that from what I read) for the alpha-channel stuff, and ideally do the metatiling in the same step.
Cheers Colin
