Jun 27, 2012 7:10 AM in response to Inakiby Limnos,Back up before you delete things. iTunes is pretty structured unless you know what you are doing. You don't give us any specific folder names or contents so it is hard for us to say yes or no, do it. Old libraries, probably. They are mostly there for when you transition a version and the transition gets messed up and you need to try again. Still, in your situation I back up my computer, then try removing items and if something goes wrong I can restore.
