Greetings & Salutations.
End of day five for me.
I have completed the boss battle levels, I had to split the level into two parts to avoid spending an extra hour or two to get a savegame for the boss battle so that you don't have to do the level over if you die.
My packaging test resulted in a failed copying of files due to some kinda resource updating issue, Deleting the saved and intermediate folders solved the issue.
But now the starter content showed back up.
So either it was not deleted when I told the editor to, Or it is adding it back on its own.
There is a post on the UE forums with:
[StartupActions]
bAddPacks=True
InsertPack=(PackSource="StarterContent.upack,PackName="StarterContent")
I think that is the culprit, Actually just seen a post on the UE AnswerHub where Eric Ketchum(Epic staff) says that is what it does.

I've heard UE is pretty notorious at constantly readding the starter pack assets back to a game. hopefully you can get that sorted permanently
