What in the Plex Media Server folder can be deleted?

Is there anything in that folder that can be deleted? I noticed there is an “Updates” folder. Mine has 59 items in there and is 4.3 gig. Do I need all that?
Cache folder - 1500 items at 6.6 gig
My overall PMS folder is over 90 gig. most of it is in the Metadata and Media folders so I’m guessing that has to stay. I can run optimize but that doesn’t recude the size that much. Just curious about those updates and why they are there.

Updates are previous versions of the installer so if you’re not planning on reverting to an older version you can delete them. Personally I keep the last 3 or so in case there are issues with the latest updates.

Actually I tried to revert to a previous version and the installer didn’t work anyway so I’m not sure it helped me much. I ended up just using my Acronis backup and restoring the entire PC to a version from the previous day.
