Several Settings folder
Hello,
I have several Settings folder in my CaptureOne folder (I work with a session). These are for example: Settings120 / Settings130 / Settings 131 and so on until Settings153.
Are these folders copies from older versions? Can I delete the ones with the smaller number without loosing information? I only work with the latest version of CaptureOne.

Yes you could. These are there because you have opened the session in successive versions of Capture One. if you look inside the Settings folders you will probable be able to see that there are .cos files for the same images in all of them. Only the latest version of them will be read by your current version of Capture One. If you have a session that has, say, a Settings 131 folder, but doesn't yet have one later than that, don't delete it just because it was from an older version, though, because it is the latest version of the adjustments to your images.
However, you could also check the size of the folder. I just checked one of mine associate with a folder of 154 images. The Settings folder for all those images was only 11.3 MB compared with a single raw image that was 29.3 MB. So the Settings folder is taking up insignificant space, and unless you are really pushed for storage, why not leave well alone, in case of unforeseen problems arising?

Ian's advice it vital,
If you have a [CaptureOne folder] that has, say, a Settings 131 folder, but doesn't yet have one later than that, don't delete it.
In other words, keep the subfolder with the highest number, make this a manual decision case by case, do not just search for all subfolders and delete them all from the search view.
