I have been using BBEdit for quite a while (since BBEdit 4) and am fond of importing all my user data when I upgrade system / computer / hard disk, etc.

As a result, I have many files and folders that claim to be part of my BBEdit setup.

For general reference, Chapter 2 of the PDF manual covers BBEdit's supporting files & folders in detail.


Among others:

This is BBEdit's application support folder:

~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/*

This is BBEdit 10's default preferences folder:

~/Library/BBEdit/*

This is BBEdit's preferences file:

~/Library/Preferences/com.barebones.bbedit.plist

This is an OS-maintained file:

~/Library/Preferences/com.barebones.bbedit.LSSharedFileList.plist

This is the "historical" location of BBEdit's preferences folder (carried forward from BBEdit 8.5 or 9.x):

~/Library/Preferences/com.barebones.bbedit.PreferenceData/*


Anything I can safely delete?
I'm having a lot of problems with BBEdit lately and would like to cleanup as much as possible to see if I can figure out a possible cause.

Again in general, deleting BBEdit's preferences or items from its app support folder is not a useful troubleshooting measure, *unless* the problem you see is clearly linked to these items.

[For example, if you add a language module which doesn't work or which usurps another module, removing that item is clearly appropriate.]
