Question please!

Hi there.

I have an overworld (Size: 1.3 TB), how long should take to remove the unused regions aprox? I would use it with WorldGuard.
As far as i read, technically all the region has to be modifed in order to know at same point if it will be deleted or not. But 99% of the regions wont be modifed.

That depends heavily on a lot of settings and is dependent on the number of region files rather than total world size. In general, assuming that you're asking "how long will a cycle take to complete" then Regionerator will by default take 2 seconds + processing time per region. If you're only using WG or other async capable plugins, the processing does not take much additional time. If you're using a non-async-capable plugin, processing takes much longer, several orders of magnitude.

But i mean, i have regions of 1 year old that has never been modifed, how those are somehow being deleted if never its modifeid?

Regionerator reads the region list from the world files. It is aware of all regions, modified or not.

Regionerator reads the region list from the world files. It is aware of all regions, modified or not.

So basically it would take "2 seconds + processing time per region * amount of regions " right?

(2s + processing time) * region count to complete a cycle, yes. That's assuming you're using default settings, which are admittedly aimed towards lower-end machines.

There's also the pre-delete gather period. See https://github.com/Jikoo/Regionerator/wiki/FAQ#why-is-it-taking-so-long-to-start-deleting-area and https://github.com/Jikoo/Regionerator/wiki/FAQ#how-can-i-force-deletion-to-run-early
