When a project goes on for a while, we tend to accumulate a lot of files that just kind of.. linger in the project folder. They had their use at some point in time, but a new version came up, or we modified something and saved the file as a different name. Whatever the reason, a file becomes old and we are too weary to delete it. This is where an ‘_old’ folder comes in.

Any files and folders that are:

  • old
  • irrelevant
  • improperly labelled
  • old versions
  • unused

Anything in an _old folder inside a job folder should be safe to delete in the future.
