Are all iLife folders in the system Library necessary

Hi there!


I'm a (very) long time Mac user. I've been upgrading systems for quite a while now and I'm searching ways to streamline my current system (Catalina 10.15.1).


In the /Library/Application Support/ folder, I've found plenty of oldies:



Is it safe to just remove them?


By the way, are there others resources linked to iLife I could get rid of?


Thanks in advance for your answers!

Hi @QuickTimeKirk


I've followed your opinion and deleted the folders shown above.


Since a couple of days, Software Update offers me to update iLife Support to v. 9.0.4.


I tried to apply the update, and received each time the same Error message.


Is there anything I can do to have the update installed successfully or to stop receiving the update warning?


Thanks in advance!
