    I'd keep it for a couple weeks. I have had to retrieve a few odds and ends from there that the Panther installer did not move. For example, I had added a new modem script for my cell phone to /Library/Modem Scripts and the installer did not move it to the new library. If you don't need anything from it after a couple weeks, then trash it.

    If you dont have anything in the folder you need, then I would trash it...

    Cool cheers for that, really didnt know what to do with them and now i do. Just did it verything seems fine. I had another previous system in there (when i had to re-install 10.2) and there was well over 75,000 files deleted. that sound right? it took f*cking ages.
