What do I do with my old iTunes libraries?

Question

I am trying to make some room on my computer and I was going through some old documents. I went into My Music and there is a folder called Previous iTunes Libraries and it has like 5 old iTune slibraries in it.
Can I delete the old libraries (keeping the most recent one)? Or would that not be good?
If you could help me out, it would be much appreciated!! :)

Answer 1

It is safe to delete ALL previous libraries. The current iTunes Library is not in that folder.



The previous libraries are created when iTunes is upgraded to a new version. They're really just a backup in case something goes wrong during the upgrade. As soon as you verify that the upgrade worked (a song plays fine) then it would be safe to delete the previous file. They're usually not big files.



TO THE EARLIER POSTERS: The iTunes Library file is a database file. It is not the actual library of songs and other content.

Answer 2

Check the old itunes libraries to see if theres any songs you still like. But if you don't like any songs in the old itunes libraries, then it's safe to delete. Hope this helps. :)

Answer 3

maybe you should keep the music to remember the memories you had with that song that's what i did :)
