--galaxy-delete-orphans

BLACKLIST
Allows user to specify individual files that should not be downloaded or mentioned as
orphans.
Each line in the file specifies one blacklist expression, except for empty lines and lines
starting with #. First few characters specify blacklist item type and flags. So far,
only regular expression (perl variant) are supported, so each line must start with "Rp"
characters. After a space comes the expression itself. Expressions are matched against
file path relative to what was specified as --directory.
Example black list
# used to store manually downloaded mods/patches/maps/, don't mention it as orphans
Rp ^[^/]*/manual/.*
# included with every *divinity game, once is enough
Rp beyond_divinity/extras/bd_ladymageknight.zip
Rp divinity_2_developers_cut/extras/divinity_2_ladymageknight.zip
# extra 6GB is A LOT of space if you don't actually plan to mod your game
Rp the_witcher_2/extras/the_witcher_2_redkit.zip
Rp the_witcher_2/extras/extras_pack_3_hu_pl_ru_tr_zh_.zip
Rp the_witcher_2/extras/extras_pack_2_fr_it_jp_.zip
PRIORITIES
Separating values with "," when using language and platform switches enables a priority-
based mode: only the first matching one will be downloaded.
For example, setting language to fr+en means both French and English will be downloaded
(if available) for all games. Setting language to fr,en means that the French version (and
only that one) will be downloaded if available, and if not, the English version will be
downloaded.
You're allowed to "stack" codes in the priority string if needed. If you set language to
es+fr,en it means it'll download both Spanish (es) and French (fr) versions if they are
available, and the English (en) one only if none of French and Spanish are available.
