    You [i]can[/i], but [b]it will not be good[/b]. <img src='http://forum.agilebits.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />



    Those are the encryption keys needed to access your data. You should never remove anything found [i]inside[/i] a [b][font=courier new,courier,monospace]1Password.agilekeychain[/font][/b] file bundle. They are not meant to be poked and prodded. That is why it is a file [b]bundle [/b]in OS X. Each [font=courier new,courier,monospace][b]1Password.agilekeychain[/b][/font] data file is meant to be treated as a single file in Finder. This is by design.



    Now, it does appear that you have [i]two[/i] data files. The one located in [font=courier new,courier,monospace][b]~/Library/Application Support/1Password[/b][/font] is presumably inactive if you are using 1Password 3.9 which would have copied that file to its sandboxed container folder. However, it does no harm there, and unless you are certain about which version of 1Password you are using and which data file is your active one, you could end up deleting your current data if you aren't careful.



    If you are concerned about drive space — though it will likely produce negligible gains relative to current drive sizes — archive the [font=courier new,courier,monospace][b]~/Library/Application Support/1Password[/b][/font] folder if you are using 1Password 3.9 which no longer uses that location to store data since its data is now sandboxed in the OS X containers folder for your user account ([font=courier new,courier,monospace][b]~/Library/Containers[/b][/font]).



    I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

    Thank you for your response. You surmised the situation correctly as I did move my Mac Pro to Lion OS (as a show of support for Roustem). Drive space is not an issue. Lion OS meant a [i]substantial[/i] amount of system/files housekeeping. The dates on the files above were from a time when I deleted 1Password completely seeking a fresh start owed to the many betas I participated in.



    [size=1]Trivia: I first purchased a 1P license—as a bet with Teare—on September 25, 2006. It was called 1Passwd in its youth.[/size]

    Yup. Those were the days. I'm sitting next to him as I type, and he remembers well. <img src='http://forum.agilebits.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />
