Hi Kevin C,
If you upgraded from a prior version of Moneydance, e.g. MD 2012 or MD 2014, the Archive folder houses a copy of your prior version's data file.
The Archive folder is also home to the default location for Moneydance's automatic backups. You may or may not have a 'backups' folder in the Archive folder but if you do, you should not delete it.
Since the Archive folder appears to be somewhat integrated into the program, it may just recreate itself if you do delete it.
Is there a specific reason that you want to delete it or it's contents?

I thought that's what the files were (old data from the earlier versions).
I was just going to get rid of them as they are not needed and it saves
space on my iDrive backup quota. My MoneyDance backups are in a different
location and I do keep them.
Thanks.
Kevin
