    Which DLLs are safe to remove?

    I am deploying Umbraco to quite a few locations and I am trying to package it as compact as possible. I was wondering which of the DLLs in the /bin folder can be safely removed if not needed. My candidates would be:

    • MySql.dll
    • IronMath.dll
    • IronPython.dll
    • VistaDB For Umbraco.dll
    • VistaDB.NET20.dll
    (I do not use Python and my DB is SqlServel)
    I removed the above and this does not seem to cause any harm. Creating and publishing documents still works. But I am worried that something further down the line might not work without one of these DLLs. Does anyone have experience with that?

    Hi Marcus,

    Quick answer is yes, if you aren't using those resources, then you can safely remove them.

    However you would be saving yourself about 2.5Mb in diskspace, which is quite small... some would argue that it's not even worth worrying about!

    Cheers, Lee.

    Thanks for you quick reply Lee. I take your point that 2.5 MB is probably not worth worrying about.
