Is it okay to delete the following files:

/administrator/components/com_dtregister/controllers/aro.bak.php
/components/com_dtregister/lib/payment/pxpay.bak.php
/administrator/components/com_dtregister/views/payoption/tmpl/add.bak.php
/administrator/components/com_dtregister/controllers/event.bak.php

Also, some of my websites have tables that appear to be backups with tables like these:

_dtregister_user_bkp
_dtregister_rollback_acos
_dtregister_rollback_aros
...
_dtregister_rollback_waiting

About 36 tables in all. Can these be safely deleted?

Thank you,
Ernie

Hello Ernie. Those files are not from the latest package, but could've been left behind in older ones. They can be deleted, yes. Regarding the database, the user_bkp table is something that would've been done on your own end, but could be removed also. The _rollback tables are old and were used when moving a site from a build prior to 2.7... which was a long time ago! :)

Any _rollback tables can be removed. No longer used. Thanks.

Yes, some of my websites go back to 1.0 and have been upgraded over the years, migrating the database all along the way - all the way to 3.x.

Thanks for the clarification,
Ernie
