home vs. home2

[car99r]

Hi all and sorry for the tech question right out of the gate but need help.

I noticed just the other day that on my server I have one folder named home and one folder named home2

I appears the home2 folder has not been accessed for a couple of years (according to the modified date).

Anyhow, i was curious if I really needed both folders. It looks like it is a copy of the home folder and doubles the size of the file storage on my server.

I don't think you need it. I would leave it to be safe.

Howdy cr99r,

If the files haven't been modified in that amount of time then I'd have to say no you don't need it. Just to be safe I would rename it then access the different sites and maybe leave it for a few days before deleting it.
