I'm currently using LTR 2.7. LTR Backups and LTR catalog previews are saved on my primary internal hard drive (the C drive). Checking memory space today I noted that backups, which go back almost two years, occupy 167GB of space (50,241 files in 37,323 folders). Catalog previews occupy 24.3 GB, containing 80,384 files, going back to the same date, almost two years ago. I clicked on the oldest preview. A window opened asking me if I wanted to relaunch LTR with this catalog. Why would I want to relaunch with anything other than the latest? Which made me wonder, why am I keeping all those old catalog previews? Is there any reason not to delete all but the most recent, and free up the storage space?
And the same question for the much larger Backups folders. I periodically backup LTR when I open it; nowadays it's taking maybe half an hour, which makes me think it's backing up everything. So why keep those old backup folders? Won't the latest backup save my data?
All of my "Master" files are saved in duplicate on two separate external hard drives.
Many thanks for comments.
