Delete Install-folder after installation?
Hi,
I have successfully installed Piwigo and everything went well with no issues.
But I do wonder, should the Install-folder be deleted now? Or may I leave it where it is?
Most of the other CMS-systems often states that the Installation-folder should be removed from the server once everything is installed (some even block access to the admin and front-end if this folder is not deleted).
Thanks.
Have a nice day.

Re: Delete Install-folder after installation?
Doesn't anyone know if the install-folder should be deleted or kept as is? :) Every other CMS that I've used says to delete it, but I don't know if the same applies to Piwigo. :)
Have a nice weekend.

Hi :-)
If it's written anywhere, delete it. it's not an answer in itself ?
you can leave the directory install

Re: Delete Install-folder after installation?
Hi,
Thank you for your reply. :)
I thought maybe the info (about deleting the folder) was forgot to mention by the end of installation, but I will keep the folder then. :)
Have a great saturday.
