Just wondered if anyone can advise why i have 2 duplicate folders? both the mySQL & team mediaportal directories are duplicated (see below). Both contain same data.
I would like to remove one of these somehow as its wasting 2GB of my drive.
Can anyone tell me which i need to delete and also why its duplicating itself, im guessing i have to change an xml somewhere to point to the correct one???
I just cant understand the reasoning of having duplicated data
ps there is only one user on this machine.. me lol
Regards

I think that "c:\users\All users" actually is a redirect to c:\Programdata

So you don't have double directories, they are just the same but getting there in a different way.
