can I remove the install directory after installing?

Hi,
Not sure if this is the right section for this, so if it isn't, I apologize. Anyways, my question is am I able to remove install.php and the "/install" directory after installing piwigo? Typically, leaving those directories there after install poses a severe security risk. Is that also the case with piwigo and, if so, are they able to be deleted after installing the software? I just want to make sure nothing will go haywire before I go deleting stuff.

Also, are there any other directories that should be removed after installing?

Thanks,
coreymon77

A few years ago, removing the "install" directory was the last step of the install procedure. Now you can keep it without worrying about security.
