==Overview=BS Tweaker===BlueStacks has an unofficial modding tool called [https://bstweaker.tk BlueStacks Tweaker] that can, among other things, root the Android installation and transfer files beyond what the BlueStacks app normally permits. Since BS Tweaker uses SuperSU as the root, it may trip up a game's anti-cheat. If you choose to use the app, ignore its warnings about not supporting the latest version; it has been tested to work with 4.215.0.1019. ===Disk optimization===BlueStacks is based on VirtualBox and stores the installation in its native disk format, VDI. By default, the files are located at <code>C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks\Engine\Android\</code> on Windows.<!-- todo: find the macos location --> To reduce the disk size, you can use the compact approach used in VirtualBox. Alternatively, you can use [[Save_Disk_Space_for_ISOs#NTFS_Compression|NTFS compression]]. This will greatly cut down the total amount of space used on the disk, though depending on what kind of storage you have, it may either take a few minutes or a few seconds.
