<div>Short answer, yes.<br>
</div>
<div>Long answer...<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Let's say I've been running my ArchivesSpace in the directory '/whatever/someplace/archivesspace-v2.5/' for a bunch of years now, and I want to get with the program and upgrade to the newest version.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So I download that and put it in '/whatever/someplace/archivesspace-v3.0/' and put in the mysqlconnector file, and get my config.rb file set. I backup my database, shut down my old ArchivesSpace and run setup-datase.sh, and start up version 3.0! It starts
up, runs fine, no errors, YAY ME! (I'm not running any plugins) (And no, there's no version 3.0 yet)<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I didn't bother copying over the stuff in /data/ because that all gets rebuilt and I can wait for that to happen. So now what do I do with '/whatever/someplace/archivesspace-v2.5/' ? I wait a few days, just to make sure I didn't miss any weird bugs or
data trouble, and now there's nothing in '/whatever/someplace/archivesspace-v2.5/' that I need. I still have the old database in my backups, and I can always download the code again from GitHub if I need to, but there's no turning back now because I've been
working!<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<br>
<br>
I have a simple question- if we have followed instructions for upgrading to a new release of ArchivesSpace (<a href="https://archivesspace.github.io/archivesspace/user/upgrading-to-a-new-release-of-archivesspace/">https://archivesspace.github.io/archivesspace/user/upgrading-to-a-new-release-of-archivesspace/</a>),
are we clear to remove any previous installation directories? We currently have a single tmp file (jetty-0.0.0.0-8089-backend.war-_-any-) in an old version folder (v 2.6.0) that has for some reason ballooned in size (4.5 GB) and would like to remove it without
repercussions.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your help!<br>
Lori
