I have a folder named /var/discource/shared/strandalone.backup using about 10 gb og data - Is this folder safe to delete. It seems really old?
Do you mean /standalone/backups?
It contains the local backups of your forum.
Do you automatically send your backups in some cloud without keeping a local copy? If you do, maybe your backup folder contains obsolete backups? 
Probably so. It sounds like someone made a copy of that directory long ago as a backup of /var/discourse/shared/standalone. If you want to be extra paranoid, you can rename it, reboot your server, and make sure everything still works before you delete it.

I renamed it to “old” and did a reboot - it still works. Will delete it now. Thanks for your help
