pequeno Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Hello, What IPB3 old folders that are no longer used by IPS4 can be deleted? Is it possible also to do a clean up in the DB after upgrading? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADMAN32395 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 This guide by @Woodsman is nice, and I used it when I upgraded. as for the db. make a backup, then make a test install. compare the two db's and delete what's not there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russur Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 My way to cleanup "Uploads" folder: 0. Make backup on your HDD! Download "Uploads" folder 1. Create new "storage method" in System - Files - Storage Settings - Configurations. You can create new Directory as example. I use Amazon S3 for it. 2. Change storage method to new for all stuff in "storage settings" (Attachments, ... , Forum Icons, ...) 3. Wait while all necessary files will be move to new destination 4. Delete all non-moved files 5. Change storage method back again What about database, maybe some old tables is present after upgrade but they is not so big. Don`t want "broke my head" delete or not Let it live... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
