10.4: Reclaim drive space after an Archive and Install
Authored by: jaysoffian on Jun 01, '05 08:52:56PM

I disagree with this assertion. I've found myself going into Previous System months after an upgrade to dig something out that I hadn't used in a while and that hadn't been re-installed.

To each his own I guess, but drive space is cheap, so I keep it around. Per the original hint, old log files, swap files, caches, etc, aren't really worth keeping though.

Drive space is cheap... but my powerbook hd is almost always full ;-)

Even if you keep the whole previous system around for a while... there is no way you will ever need the swap files (even the OS deletes them upon reboot)...
