Howdy, all. Another newbie question (sorry). We're getting ready to upload a new site, so I'd like to clear out our old site to conserve space. However, I'm new to cPanel (and site maintenance in general) so I'm not sure which files/folders I can delete (my pages) and which ones are necessary for operation (TCH files). Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Thanks again.

The only "TCH File" that you have in your public_html directory, is the cgi-bin, which you do not want to remove (Of course, you can remove whatever is inside of the cgi-bin you no longer need). Other than that, anything else in the /public_html directory can be removed.

 

I wouldn't mess with anything above the public_html directory though, because your mail folder and whatnot is in there.

 

Oh, and if you have Frontpage extensions installed (And you would have had to install that on the CPanel install here) you don't want to remove anything that starts with a _ or _vti, as those are needed for the Frontpage extensions.
