Deleting old software version data files?

I am running approx 10 ledgers locally using AccountRight Premier SE on my laptop, also accessed by other users PC edition. 

 

This means I can have many, many versions of old data files in My Library (My AccountRight files folder on C drive).  I can see there are more in Old software files version data files sub-folder.

 

I have a separate process for keeping backup files annually & periodically, so I wonder if it is necessary to keep all these old files in My Library, except for the last few?  Storage space is dwindling on my laptop so considering deletion to free up space.

 

Have looked for Support Notes/Community posts, but can't find anything.

    Hi Karen_K

     

    Sure, having a copy of all your files in all versions is good, but generally, you can make do with the latest copies of your company files plus any periodic backups that you feel would be important in the future. If you have old files that you don't access at all, you can remove them. But this will depend on how much fallback and redundancy you need, which will differ for each situation.
