Hello,

I work for a managed IT service provider who supports several firms who use QuickBooks. I've been collecting a list of QuickBooks folders that are occupying hundreds of gigabytes of space on our customer's local disks in hopes of identifying which folders we can clean up. I want to write a script to clean these folders out, but don't want to just assume they're benign in fear of breaking things and interrupting their business.

Can I get help identifying the purpose of these folders and files, and which can be safely removed from these systems?
