Warning: if your going to earase some voices, then you do so at your own risk. I would highly recommend not getting rid of the compact voices. I found out the hard way when I got rid of one of these, I was unable to get it back despite downloading the HQ of that voice again. The only way I was able to restore them so to speak was finding the compact voice in one of my Time Machine backups and a simple copy and paste back to its location on the internal hard drive correctly restored it. So basically wouldn't recommend deleting compact voices besides, they don't take up too much space anyway. As far as I can tell though, Hq voices are ok to delete they seem to re-download themselves again and install once you have done it in the Voiceover utility. So for the location of these voices, at least for me, it is ::
