is it ok to delete files copied during migration from synchronized to shared persistence?

Following these directions:

http://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense/June2017/Subsystems/PlanningQlikSenseDeployments/Content/Deployment...

Per the directions, I *copied* the following directories to a new location to migrate from synchronized to shared persistence:

ProgramData\Qlik\Sense\Apps

ProgramData\Qlik\Sense\Repository\Archived Logs

ProgramData\Qlik\Custom Data

ProgramData\QlikTech\Custom Data

ProgramData\Qlik\Sense\Repository\AppContent

ProgramData\Qlik\Sense\Repository\Content

ProgramData\Qlik\Sense\Repository\DefaultContent

ProgramData\Qlik\Sense\Repository\Extensions

ProgramData\Qlik\Sense\Repository\DefaultApps


I assume it's perfectly safe to delete the files & folders I copied over, but I thought I'd ask if anyone else did the same and had problems with their Qlik install.  I'm worried that, after deleting the old folders, things might seem fine but they're really not.


Also, I am wondering if I could go even further and delete everything in \ProgramData\Qlik, not just the stuff I copied over.

Thanik you!

You can delete ONLY the paths that are descrived in the help.

No you cant delete all ProgramData\Qlik because the system is still using other files

Thanks for taking the time to respond!  Do you mean that there's a help page that describes which paths can be deleted, or that it's ok to delete the paths that I was instructed to copy to the new QlikShare folder?
