Housekeeping the auto backups

[Farjo]

Hi, Now that we are stable on 2.0 I want to delete most (all?) of these files.

However I am not sure if they may be referenced in the future or if they were only created in case an upgrade / install didn't work and we wanted a quick restore.

The backups are:
SQL tables beginning backup_smf_
Packages/backups - can I delete everything or do I have to keep the latest files for uninstalling?
Themes directories that I installed then uninstalled (not strictly a backup, more clutter!)

Like I say we are stable on 2.0 and I have more recent backups and a test copy, so I do not need these backups unless they may be referenced by SMF in the future.

you can delete the backup_smf tables out of your DB.

package/backups you will need till you un-install one of those named backup-mods.
Themes you wont use you can delete except default theme

Optimize your DB

Thanks for the reply. I have optimised the database and will delete the db tables and theme directories.

I assume then that I can delete all the mod backup files except that latest one for each mod?

yes you can remove the backup files from mod installs, as long as you dont need them all of them can safely be removed.

Thank you
