# Directory and File Cleanup Tips

The following are tips for clearing unnecessary files from the main `DBAMFG` or `EVOERP` folder. Keeping the folder clean can help improve performance of Evo-ERP. Before deleting any files, you should make a backup of the system.

1. Delete any `.RTX` in the root folder. These are no longer used. There are backups of `RTM` files in the `RTM` subfolder.
2. Delete any files named `TAS#.TMP` where `#` is any number.
3. If you have any PDFs other than `ACCTUG.PDF` and `MFGUG.PDF` you can delete or move them to another location.
4. The only `.TXT` files that should be present are:
  - `BKMENUSU.TXT`
  - `BKMENUST.TXT`
  - `BKMENUSTC.TXT`
  - `EVOPRGNAMES.TXT`
  - `SECLOG.TXT` (if this file is getting large, you can delete it and it will be recreated)  
Any other `.TXT` files can be moved or deleted.

5. Any `.CSV`, `.XLS`, `.XLSX`, `.DOC`, and `.DOCX` can be moved or deleted.
6. Only the following `.B` files should be present in the root folder:
  - `FILE*.B` (there are 10 of these)
  - `ERRMSG.B`
  - `USERS.B`
  - `USERS2.B`
  - `USERSD.B`
  - `WBTRVMEMO.B`
  - `ISDRILLM.B`  
  
If any other `.B` files are present in the root folder instead of the `DEFAULT` subfolder, go to UT-D and do a lookup to see where the system is actually looking for the file. If it is looking in the root folder, copy the file to the `DEFAULT` subfolder, then in UT-D redirect the Data Dictionary pointer to the `DEFAULT\` path, then make some change to the file in the system to verify the modified date changes on the one in the `DEFAULT` subfolder instead of the root folder. At this point you can remove the copy in the root folder. If UT-D is already pointing to the `DEFAULT\` path, then the file can be deleted from the root folder.
