I am not sure that my Post is in the right place I am not very savvy with these things, please advise
Having installed different Broker MT4's since Build 600 I am left with a lot of duplicate files/folders ie. in C:/Program Files/MT4 Broker A, C:Users/Roaming/MT4 Broker A and C:Users/Roaming/Terminal(Code for Broker A)
My question is can the first 2 directory entries be now deleted just leaving C:Users/Roaming/Terminal(Code for Broker A) OR just the C:/Program Files/MT4 Broker A
I hope this makes sense as to what I am trying to say, anybody help please?
don't worry
the microsoft windows has something called Registry and it will do more than you expect.
so don't worry, every think for the brokerA will go to it only and every think for brokerB will go to it only, while they are both in the same directory
but some unexpected mistakes you may face
so, the best modification is to uninstall them twice and then put each one in a separate folder (not the default mt4 directory)
don't forget to have a BACKUP for the files you mentioned in your post above.

Sorry Mohammad but I am afraid I do not understand.
Basically I have 3 Duplicate 'Broker A' MT4's in 3 different Directory Paths 1) one in Program Files 2) one in Users/Roaming and 3) one in Users/Roaming/Terminal obviously taking up a lot of Memory space.
Is it safe to Delete 1) and 2) OR better to just Delete 1)

let me know why you are afraid???
!!
no problem if you uninstall / reinstall the mt4 in new directory
your password and username and all opened orders/trades will remain same as they are stored in the broker server
if you are afraid of losing file/data then it is recommended to backup them out ....
