Question

Doing some SSD cleaning.... Photoshop leftovers.

so i am doing some cleaning of old leftover files on my SSD.

 

i found these folders and i am not sure if i can delete them.

they seem to contain data for the neural filters and some other stuff.

i think they are leftovers from old photoshop versions (v22, v23, v24).

 

it is not much but i am not going back to an old photoshop version and i don´t know why i should keep the files when i don´t need them.

 

can someone tell me if they are indeed leftovers from old photoshop versions and if it is safe to delete them?

    This should be safe to delete, certainly if it's older versions you don't have installed any more.

     

    Basically all application-specific files in your user account can be deleted. If they are used by an installed application, they will be rebuilt as needed.

     

    This is in contrast to the Program Files folder. Don't touch anything there - except, again, if it's leftovers from a version no longer installed.

      i will backup the folders and then delete them. if it works without an issue i delete the backup after a few days.

      i just wanted to know if i am correct to assume it is from old photoshop versions.

       

      of course i am extra careful in the programs folder.  🙂
