"restore" files found in upload directory

Hello,

I found, in my upload directory, a few files that seem to be from previous uploads:
83.1 MiB [##########] /SuiteCRM-Upgrade-7.10.x-to-7.10.15-restore
75.9 MiB [######### ] /SuiteCRM-Upgrade-7.10.x-to-7.10.14-restore
64.9 MiB [####### ] /SuiteCRM-Upgrade-7.10-to-7.10.13-restore
4.0 KiB [ ] SuiteCRM-Upgrade-7.10.x-to-7.10.15-manifest.php
4.0 KiB [ ] SuiteCRM-Upgrade-7.10.x-to-7.10.14-manifest.php
4.0 KiB [ ] SuiteCRM-Upgrade-7.10-to-7.10.13-manifest.php

Can anyone tell my why they would be useful? Can I erase them?

Tanks for any hints.
Joseph

Hi joehogan,

these files should be completely safe to delete (I’d of course always recommend having a backup anyway though). These directories contain the files that are overwritten when the upgrade process copies new files, essentially the installer never directly overwrites and instead copies the files to another location and only then places the new file. You’ll also be able to find a reference to these files in your db upgrade_history table.
