delete packages/backups?

(1/2) > >>

rob54:
My packages/backups folder has become very large (115Mb) and is about half the total size of the forum according to cPanel Disk Space Usage. I wonder, do I dare delete the backups? What do you recommend folks?

Oldiesmann:
If all your installed mods are working fine, then yes, you can delete the files in that folder. Those backups are created when you install or uninstall a mod - they contain a backup of all your forum files from before the (un)installation so you can easily restore it to the previous state if something goes wrong during the process.

rob54:
OK I see. No wonder it get so big! Just to indicate what the /backup folder shows I attach a screenshot here so you can see what I've been doing! It is working OK but if I do delete, should it just be the files leaving the folder there?

Thanks

Joey Smith™:
Leave the folder. You can remove the tar.gz archives since they are the actual backup archives.

rob54:
All archives gone and thanks for your help. I'll mark the topic solved.
