I just had someone ask me about some folder\’s they found on there system… Â They were concerned that they folder\’s in question where taking up a bit of space, and they wanted to clean up there hard drive…
For example:
- /Developer (from old Mac)
- /opt (from old Mac)
The common factor, was the \”(from old Mac)\”…. I was able to safely say that it was safe to remove the folders, assuming they had removed any data they needed from the folders… Â Why could I do safely say that?
\”(from old Mac)\” is what the Migration Utility add\’s to folders that it is copying over from your OLD MAC, when there is a naming conflict.
In otherwords, it didn\’t overwrite the new developer tools that came with your new system, it gave the old copy from your old system a slightly different name by appending \”(from old Mac)\” to the folder name.
Yes, you can safely remove them, assuming there isn\’t some data that you need from those folders…
