Several people have written in the past about deleting 'extra' files to
save space on their hard-drive. I would suggest leaving software
installations alone. I don't know why people are so antsy to get into
them and start deleting files that 'look' like they have nothing to do
with anything. They have all kinds of things to do with everything.
The only files I would delete would be extra zip backups if I collect
reams and reams of them and don't see the point in keeping one for every
time I've backed up Legacy, which could be several times in one day,
multiplied by weeks and months of that.
If you want to clean up your hard-drive, have a look at your personal
files: photos, videos, music, documents, etc and delete some of those if
you don't need them. But leave your software installations alone.

Thank you to you who wrote giving me advice on my backup problems. I wrote the other day asking how I could create a new backup each week in case I need to go back to a certain point in my data entry.
I think I am starting to understand now. I guess I was confused as to the difference between a working family file (fdb) and the ZIP files.
One more question about backups...
Now that I am starting to understand the backup procedures and how to save family files, is it ok if I go into the Legacy/Data folder and delete all of the extraneous files I created? As long as I have my main family file open, it will automatically save it?
Thanks so much. I am having a hard time changing my mindset from FTM to Legacy
and this group has been very helpful.
