I see in on my webserver some files that are I think useless.

eg:


These are from previous versions. Can I delete them are not in the latest release?

I assume replacing the whole system folder would fix the problem

I'd backup those files first and then replace the entire system folder as Kort suggested.

I will do that.

And my other question is, with future updates, we should indicate which files need to be deleted.
I upload always the new files and the old will be overwritten, but if a file is deleted if will stay there.

/system/ was an example. There are also other dirs I suppose.

Keeping those old files won't hurt, except that they take up a little extra webspace.

i would delete them after a backup because every extra file that isnt needed could be a potential security risk...
