General maintenance of /var/opt/axigen

Support General Configuration

So before I upgrade each time, I stop the axigen server and tar up /var/opt/axigen as is recommended. However I started to notice that this directory seems to contain old versions of webadmin and webmail. Am I free to delete these seemingly old directories and their contents? (partial directory listing below)

Maybe I can ask this a different way -

What SHOULD be in /var/opt/axigen? I seem to have a lot of old files. I have run axigen for several years, through several versions and done at least one migration.

I did go through and delete old logs from /var/opt/axigen/logs, pretty sure I don’t need them going back multiple years. But that said, there seems to be multiple old directories of webadmin and webmail versions.

I’d really like to clean up any old and unneeded files to optimize my daily backups.

Hello Roger,

Yes, you may delete older versions of webmail and webadmin folders (most probably them are created by the update script you are using).

Best regards,
