I am for some reason filling up my 128GB SSD, and I see JRiver contributes significantly. In the C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\J River folder there are four subfolders with a total of 4.62 GB of data:

Cache (1.12 MB)
Media Center 17 (1.35 GB)
Media Center 18 (1.28 GB)
Media Center 19 (1.62 GB)

Would it be possible to delete some of these? I only use MC19.

The first thing I'd do is try running Tools → Options → File Location → Cover Art → Clean Cover Art Folder and see if that helps.
The only thing I'm not sure about in the MC17/18 folders, is the Cover Art folder. I don't know if MC19 will be using files from the older directories. (assuming your library was imported from the previous versions)
You can probably delete the rest safely, as long as you don't plan on running MC17/18 any more.

So there is no risk in deleting parts of the database by deleting the MC17/18 folders? All is safely contained now in the MC19 folder?

EDIT: I see now that the db is stored here F:\Dokumenter\JRiver\Media Center 19\Library Backups\

Yes.  Each folder will contain data for only the version it says.

Yes.  Each folder will contain data for only the version it says.

Ok, thanks!

Yes.  Each folder will contain data for only the version it says.

Am I right in thinking that I can delete the old Cover Art folders then?
The data contained within the MC18 folder does not seem to have been duplicated in the MC19 folder.

It's possible that MC19 is still pointing into the MC18 folder.  Check the paths used for the image file field.

I had two albums pointing to a MC17 folder, all the rest where inside file. Learning new things each day.

Will do. It might be nice if MC automatically migrated the covers folder when upgrading though.
