Now I have the full version of Groove Agent 5 I don’t think I need Groove Agent 5 SE. What is the best way to remove Groove Agent 5 SE and it’s associated media?
did you have double entries?
If not, don’t remove any, some content relates to both…

Thanks for the quick reply. I appreciate it.
e.g. For kits I have
“SE Studio Kit” and “Studio Kit”
“SE Kits” and “Kits”
“The Kit SE” and “The Kit”
I guess in each case the former is for SE and the later for full version. Other kits were introduced when I installed the full version and some might well be for both as you say.
I don’t plan to use SE any more and I am just thinking of saving space. I’m tidy like that but I don’t want to screw up my system. Still got plenty of free disk space.
Use the Steinberg Library Manager, remove what you don’t want, and then uninstall GASE, however it will only free up about 280MB, which is not a lot by today’s storage capacities.
Personally I’ve left both installed because I sometimes exchange projects with Elements users – I can create a drum track for them that only uses GASE content.

Thank you Mr Soundman for your sound advice.
Yes, 280 MB is not much space. GASE may be useful going forward and I do already have a couple of projects that use it. So I have decided not to be rash and I will keep GASE for the time being. But thanks to you I know how best to remove it should I decide to in future.
But what about the SE content?
+6 GB - any info if this is included in the full version?
I deinstalled the content and am a bit confused because:
As you can see the graphics view shows less but the number of Midi files is still the same - after deinstallation of the GA 5 SE content via Steinberg Download Assistant.
Who knows details on that - I could not find exact infos in the forum. Exact means a yes or no answer to the question:
Is the SE content included in the GA 5 full version or not?
Thank you!
Same appears under the Styles Tab.
Kits & Instruments Tabs appear to show the same content after deinstallation.
Doesn’t make sense if just Styles and Midi files are removed, right?
Support answered:
it is recommended to keep both content downloads: GA 5 SE + GA 5.
Hence it is not included in the full version.
Happy music making 
FWIW. I tried removing GA SE last year b/c I thought I didn’t need it. That screwed up some functionality. Not sure why… So now I keep GA SE, and GA full as well as the Dorico SE content. It turned out it fixes issues of missing content. No idea why.
