Is it safe to just delete the duplicate catalog from within Internet Explorer? (Win XP)
When I upgraded to 2.0, my LR 1.0 catalog was converted properly, but when I restarted LR I clicked too fast at the opening screen and mistakenly hit the button to exit the program. When I restarted it I ended up converting my LR 1.0 catalog again.
I now have a Lightroom 2 Catalog.lrcat file and a Lightroom 2 Catalog-2.lrcat file.
I also have a folder called Lightroom 2 Catalog Previews.lrdata as well as a folder called Lightroom 2 Catalog-2 Previews.lrdata.
The LR 1.0 catalog file is still in the folder too. (These are all in the default location: my pictures/lightroom)
I have so much time invested in LR that I am very nervous about just deleting the duplicate catalog (after creating a backup of the file) and then hoping LR will operate properly with the remaining catalog.
Any suggestions before I just delete the -2 catalog and preview -2 folder and hope LR boots up properly?
