I am running 1Password6 with no problems.

Can/should I delete the old 1Password5 Application and associated files? My App Cleaner application indicates it is using over 1.5GB. Same question applies for 1Password5 Agent

1Password Version: 6.3.1
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: 10.11.5
Sync Type: Dropbox
Referrer: forum-search:delete 1password5

    Hi there @boomtown,

    Yes you can remove the application itself, but you absolutely should not remove the associated files or use AppCleaner! That would likely delete all your data, which 1Password 6 would be using! You can also remove 1Password agent (but again not associated files!).

    I terms of using up space on your hard drive, I imagine it's in all likelihood related to the periodic backups that 1Passwords makes. You can open 1Password, got to Preferences > Backup and click on the "Show Files" button. It will open a Finder window with a bunch of backups. I'd recommend you remove all the backups save for a few of the most recent files.

    Hope this helps.
