After many upgrades over the years and with the change to the editor in 3.07 I notice several old folders around such as
swithmail and tinymce, now replaced with newer versions.
Is it posible that the update process can either inform us of these obsolete files or better yet, automatically remove them?

Hi Jeff,
You bet, that's a great idea. We need to be super careful about removing folders because there's always a chance that someone has made custom changes and we don't want to remove someone else's code. Also, sometimes we wait a few versions to notify the user of old files in case they need to switch back for any reason.
If you have a look at the "Security Tips" section in the Admin here: admin.php?menu=admin&action=general#security-settings
It should list "some" files that can be removed. You can find those in this file: cmsb/lib/menus/admin/general.php
By searching for: $oldFilesAndDirs
Can you try adding any old paths there (or just let me know) and then I can add them to the next release.
Hope that helps!

Also note, I just added these ones:
$oldFilesAndDirs[] = '/3rdParty/SwiftMailer';
$oldFilesAndDirs[] = '/3rdParty/SimplaAdmin';
$oldFilesAndDirs[] = '/3rdParty/tiny_mce';
Let me know if you'd like any others added.
Cheers!

Hi Jeff
The current jquery folder (\3rdParty\jquery\) only has two files:
jquery.js
jquery1.4.1.js
You should be able to remove anything else.
To be on the safe side though, just rename the file to:
jquery1.4.js.old
Then leave it for a week. If you don't see any errors, feel free to delete the file.

Hi Ross,
I was replying to David's message about other old folders to be added to the old files list.

Jeff, what's the filepath to the old jquery file?

Thanks, looks like that one is still referenced by a few plugins so we'll need to keep it around a bit longer.
