Cleaning up ftp

Hello,

Cleaning up my website space   but find it hard to see what I can delete and what not.
i think there is stil some stuff on there from an old cart version.

is al the stuff from version 4 in the ttg-be folder ?  If so does this mean I can delete the two highlighted folders without a problem ?

As long as you're no longer using any pre-CE4 galleries, those folders are safe to delete.

It's still probably a good idea to back them up first by downloading them to your computer.

Re: Cleaning up ftp

You could delete whatever past files and folders you don't need. But I choose to leave most of them in place on my server. I've been a TTG user since CE2 and I decided to leave all those galleries and ftp folders there in case if my past clients ever want to revisit their shoots or their hidden galleries I gave them private links to their shoots. I won't be using these folders since I created a new folder for my current website when I moved over to Backlight. But still, I want past customers to still have access to their old shoots with me, even though it's not something that can be navigated when new people see my website.
