Hi, i would like to know a little more about keychain folder in macOS. I went to ~/Library/Keychains/ folder and found four items: login.keychain-db, metadata.keychain-db, metadata.keychain-db. with a sequence of letters and numbers and a folder with a sequence of letters and numbers. Inside the latter there are multiple file that you can see in the photo.
Are there any old file i can delete?

If you look closely most of these files have been modified very recently, which suggests they are actively used by the system.
Moreover, the total size of the Keychains folder is negligible.
Much better to leave it be.
I strongly advise against messing those up.
Why are you looking into this, in the first place?
A few months ago i had to create a new keychain file because i was not able to remember the password. I would like to know if there are any files duplicated or related to the old keychain file or everything is correct.
Thank you, Fabio
