GnuCash system files and folders

[David T.]

Hello,

I am a longtime user of the program, working with GC2.6.14 on Mac OS X 10.11.6. I am looking at the directory structure on my Mac, and I see a lot of different GnuCash-related files and folders. I wonder whether they are all necessary, and want to check with the community to verify before I cause myself trouble.

In /Library, I have:

lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  44 Sep 18  2012 Gnucash-2.4 -> /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  51 May 29  2013 Gnucash-2.5 -> /Users/david/Desktop/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  57 May 25  2013 Gnucash-2.5.Save -> /Users/david/Desktop/Gnucash-2.5.1.app/Contents/Resources

I believe I can safely delete these links, since I am not using 2.4 or 2.5 at this time.

In my home folder, I have a “.gnucash” folder, which contains numerous files and folders, the most recent of which dates from February 2013. I believe this can also be deleted, as I believe that whatever information contained here is now stored in ~/Library/Application Support/Gnucash.

Finally, within ~/Library/Application Support/Gnucash, I have the following files:

-rw-r--r--  1 david  502  185457 Dec  3  2010 saved-reports-2.0
-rw-r--r--@ 1 david  502  172919 Nov 19 10:02 saved-reports-2.4
-rw-r--r--  1 david  502  171840 Nov 19 10:02 saved-reports-2.4-backup

As you see, saved-reports-2.4 appears to be active (along with its backup). Can I delete saved-reports-2.0, and is there some way to have the saved reports file version number match the version I am currently using (or not use one at all)?

TIA,
David
