in earlier versions of PT they were in different locations but current instruction is to dump the whole pt folder to trash prefs and databases, something i havent done in the past

I can answer that, and the answer is yes. We still routinely delete database files (though I still use the original version of PT Prefs out of habit) and it occasionally fixes odd things happening in PT. Not often -- typically the culprit is something else -- but it's easy enough to do that it's part of our routine.

Yes, as Eric says, deleting databases is non-detrimental APART from if you have any custom Workspace databases. They will be deleted. Most people use external Sound FX database software but bear this in mind.

Cheers,
Pete

Indeed, that's an important point that I should have mentioned.
