Hello,

 

      I want to know if it would be possible to clean out my packages directory as it getting rather full. At the moment this is what is currently located in that directory:

Not to start a thread of my own and also not to hijack yours, i have the same question.

 

I noticed this in your directory...

I have a lot of that going on with other files as well, is it safe to delete the files with the .bak* extention ??

Haha, not a problem! Join the que!

I cleared mine out but made sure to uncheck enable install on reboot and reboot unraid to make sure.

I'm not 100% if correct way but i've had no issues since no longer use unmenu but plugins for new beta and usually downloads packages as per need basis.

I would copy it somewhere else first to see any issues with reboot before clearing out
