Since I Upgraded from 0.72 to 1.0

  • Since I Upgraded from 0.72 to 1.0, which files and / or entire directories can I delete now to eliminate files no longer needed by WordPress 1.0?
    Also for security reasons, are there any files that are used in 1.0 that need to have certain specific permissions set after a successful install?

  • I’m also wondering what files can be deleted. I deleted the b2-* folders, as I was told those are no longer needed.
    What about the b2*.php files? What else can be deleted?

    Scooter:
    I agree on the B2-* folders being deleted. It appears these two folders were replaced by the folders ‘wp-images’ and ‘wp-includes’.
    Also as a security measure, I renamed all files that were named ‘install’ or ‘upgrade’ that I was able to determine from the readme.html and I deleted the readme.html. My logic (and maybe I am wrong or it may be ill-founded) is this:
    ” if a hacker reads between the lines the documentation found in the readme.html, a attempts to access the files having to do with any upgrades and installs, a hacker may possibly be able to take a web browser and access the readme.html if left installed and possibly mess up a clean installation. Maybe I am wrong or a little paranoid about these types of things where I want to take some precautions in reference to security.
