If the applications folder is empty, it can be safely removed. If it is not empty, I would recommend removing all the apps from within the iTunes UI first, otherwise all those apps will still show up in your library but iTunes will not be able to locate them.
As for synchronization and backups, that should not be messed up in any way. Backups are not stored in your iTunes folder, and may safely be removed at any time. iTunes will simply do a full backup rather than an incremental one if it cannot find any previous backups when backing up an iOS device.

I've already synced my iPhone with iTunes a few times. Will this mess up any syncing moving forward, or restoring encrypted backups, or anything? Similarly, since I never use them, can I replace or get rid of the Mobile Applications folder in the old library? -- Have a great day, Alex Hall [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
