Remove unused files

Configuration
1

Hi

I decided to clean a little bit my configuration folders and I’m not totally sure which files are safe to delete. I can see the contents of some files can be found in core.config_entries.

The files I’m wondering about are:

  • phue.conf
  • plex.conf
  • sabnzbd.conf
  • harmony_harmony_hub.conf
  • .uuid
  • html5_push_registrations.conf

What about known_devices.yaml are there still device trackers that still using this file?

Thanks in advanced

I use the nmap device tracker, and it still uses known_devices.yaml

Still using nmap too so I have to keep known_devices.yaml.

If you are unsure, don’t delete them. Just append .bak On the end of the existing file extension. Do some testing for a while (days) if it turns out you need them you only have to revert the file name. If you don’t need them then delete.

You can safely remove plex.conf. It hasn’t been used for several releases.

I guess phue.conf too?

I removed

  • phue.conf
  • plex.conf
  • html5_push_registrations.conf (because I don’t use the integration anymore)

The following seems to be in use from the integrations:

  • sabnzbd.conf
  • harmony_harmony_hub.conf

Still not sure for:

  • .uuid

It seems that is something that home assistant used sometime ago but not anymore?
