MacOS large Container size (double?)

[Etienne74 0]

Hello,

I see that on my 2 Macbooks (High Sierra and Catalina) that there are 2 large container files under:

˜/Library/Containers/com.evernote.Evernote/Data

˜/Library/Application Support/Evernote/resource-ache

in High Sierra and under Catalina I see Containers and Group Containers with more or less the same size as under High Sieerra

 

Both folders have around 25Gb of files; in total over 50Gb of storage usage

When I export my notes (as a backup i keep an .enex file) it is 'only' 30GB.

Are all those container folder/files needed? (Before I start removing the files and having to re-download on both macbooks a total of 100Gb)

Group Containers

Local database storage for Evernote Legacy     
If deleted, the database will be rebuilt from the servers when logging in to the Evernote Legacy app

˜/Library/Application Support/Evernote

Local database storage for Evernote Version 10    
This is optional and can be disabled within the app

˜/Library/Containers/com.evernote.Evernote/Data

On my installation, this is 41KB

Thanks, I just deleted the Group container, it indeed was has no new notes in it, so it was legacy.
