Hi,

i have transferred data (except .scid files) to a new installation on SC.
If now i delete my first SC (the original source) and use only the second SC (the new installation), do i lose some old data ? or those .scid files that i have not copied are no longer important ?

Thanks

Review the information in help topic 15 to make sure you have copied over all of the relevant data files that you need:

What particular markets are you following when using Open ECry? This is necessary to let you know if you will lose data you cannot recover.

I followed the instructions of the topic 15, but i have seen that the new installation of SC occupies less space on the disc (because i have not copied the .scid files) than the original source, and i would like to delete the original source and use only the new installation of SC, but i don't know if doing so, i could lose some data.
For this reason, is it better to copy also the .scid files or it is not necessary ?
I'm following YM, NQ, ES, 6E and GC.

Thanks

You can safely delete the old scid files. The data for those markets is all easily accessible from the server.
