Q: Do I need to save in my music iTunes library the previous library, iTunes 3 or 4 libraries?

Do I need to save the "previous library", or iTunes 3 or 4 Music Libraries, or the iTunes 4 Music Library (old) in my music/iTunes folder?

 

Trying to declutter my library.

 

Currently using iTunes 10.5.3; therefore, is the old stuff necessary?

MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2009), Mac OS X (10.7.3)

    "New versions of iTunes sometimes include enhancements to the iTunes library. When you open the new version of iTunes, iTunes upgrades your existing library to the new format and places a copy of the old library in the Previous Libraries folder. If everything goes fine during your upgrade to the latest version of iTunes, you can delete the older iTunes Library files."
