UK CADMAN 0 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I have a 66Mb exb file which I presume is a legacy backup file in my google drive. Can I safely delete this as it is from 2015 & I presume no longer required? Link to comment
Level 5* DTLow 5,697 Posted March 11, 2021 Level 5* Share Posted March 11, 2021 .exb files are still used by the Evernote Legacy product (Windows) They are not used by the Evernote Version 10 product Link to comment
UK CADMAN 0 Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 @DTLow - so as I have version 10.9.10 on my windows laptop I can safely delete the .exb file in my GDrive? Link to comment

Level 5 PinkElephant 5,515 Posted March 12, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted March 12, 2021 One can discuss that opinion. I think v10 is now serving most use cases of „the average user“. IMHO there is no reason for these users to continue with legacy. Power users with above of 10k notes or elaborate Workflows will stick with legacy. Link to comment

Belts and suspenders, change the extension to exbbu or something and see if anything "bad" happens. Not likely, and then delete the file. OTOH, if the modified date is from some time ago, okay to delete. If it's a backup file in general there shouldn't be any impact. Unless you need the backup for something. A lot of water under the bridge since 2015. Link to comment
