Migration assistant, other files and folders

In "Migration Assistant" there is something called "Other files and folders." What is included in "Other files and folders?" Do I need to transfer for this?

"Other files and folders" includes everything not in one of the other categories. You can exclude it if you wish, and if something does not work correctly you can always erase the Mac and start over again.


It's easier to include it and delete anything you determine to be unnecessary later.
