Can i safely delete /var/discourse/shared/standalone/uploads/defaultOld

Hi!

i have a digital ocean standalone instance running and it sometimes runs out of diskspace. while looking into it i found it has a folder called defaultOld in uploads (our uploads go to a s2 bucket since a few years back). Its 11G. Can i safely delete it?

The image is an output from running the  command with the  and  options, listing the total size of various directories in an Ubuntu system. (Captioned by AI)

We have never used defaultOld so I’m pretty confident asserting it’s something you likely created (cp -a default defaultOld) around the time you moved uploads to S3, and thus nobody would miss it if it’s gone.

You could rename it for a week and see if anything breaks?
