Too many folders
I have just noticed that under c:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Ableton I have dozens of folders, one for each version of Live I've had at one time or another Live 11.1.5, Live 11.2 etc.
Is it okay to delete all but the current version?

Re: Too many folders
There are two places on the Mac that I occasionally clean up: ~/Library/Application Support/Ableton and ~/Library/Preferences/Ableton.
MacBook Pro, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1, 2.3GHz i7-1068NG7, 32GB – Live Suite 12.0.1, Max 8.6.2, Push 2, Scarlett 4i4
Re: Too many folders
What Ecuk wrote. I personally delete older versions folder from those place every once in a while, for the sake of keeping things clean, but these are small files.
But AFAIK, what the OP is referring to on Windows is about files that are basically copies of the application package (or something like that, I'm totally ignorant about windows), so waaaaay more bigger files than the preferences ones.

Re: Too many folders
Thanks for that.
I do Windows related I.T. for my day job so it’s muscle memory. In macOS, I’m just an end user - thankfully the problems are minimal and “it just works” most of the time
