Two GarageSale Folders in Containers & Deleted Listings

GarageSale
1

Hi all

I’m moving to a new computer, but before I do that I wanted to clean up Garage Sale’s files. I have two GarageSale folders showing in Library > Containers. How do I know which one I need?

Second - I have over 1000 listings showing in ‘Deleted Listings’. How do these end up here? It looks like I still have the original listings in other folders. Are copies sent here when they are ended manually, or when they sell?

Many thanks!

If you find mind multiple “GarageSale” folders there, they most likely belong to older GarageSale versions you were using, e.g. GarageSale 8 or GarageSale 7. To find out to what GarageSale version a database belongs to, right-click on it and select “Information”. In the Information panel expand the “Name & Extension” section to see the actual database name, e.g. “com.iwascoding.garagesale9”.

You might want to keep the database of the most recent GarageSale 9 version (“com.iwascoding.garagesale9”).

Select “Erase deleted items” from GarageSale’s Edit menu to empty the trash bin.

Thank you Kristian

One is GarageSale 8 & one is GarageSale 9.

  1. Are all the listings from previous versions carried froward to the latest version ie V8 > V9?
  2. Can I just delete the whole V8 folder?
  3. Regards the ‘Deleted Listings’, if I erase them, will it also erase all of the photos? I ask because GarageSale is taking a whole heap of space, due in the main to photos. So I’m trying to clear as much space as I can.

Thanks :slightly_smiling_face:

Yes, GarageSale 9 should have offered you to import your previous GarageSale 8 database when you started GarageSale 9 for the first time.

If your previous listings from GS8 are available in GS9, feel free to remove the old GS8 database folder.

As far as I know, yes.
