File Deletion Advice Request

[Lensmeister]

Evening All,
I'm about to head to bed but wanted to ask this before I go.
I have FTMv19 now.
I also have a load of files in the FTM folder in the My Documents folder of my laptop.
I have four main trees I want to keep.
ALL the files in the FTM folder have been backed up using FTMv19.

I want to clear out all the old redundant files in the FTM folder. Just delete them all out.

So:
Q1 - You all think this is a good idea?
Q2. If I delete ALL the files the in FTM folder I can just reinstate them from the back ups on a spare Hard Drive I have back up to?
Q3 - When I restore the back up will that also bring in all the images in the media folder too ?
Q4 - I currently have a full copy on my laptop, a spare HDD and I am about to upload (if I clear these all out) to a cloud drive as well) - Any other ideas worth considering?

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give me.

What I would do is set up a new and different FTM tree folder. Set that as the default location in FTM. Then restore all the trees that I want to keep into that new folder. Check that everything is ok in the new folder. And only then delete all the old stuff in the original folder.
