Mac OS 8.6: Folders Deleted by Installer

The following is a list of folders that are automatically removed as a result of installing Mac OS 8.6.
Important: The colon is not part of the name, but is used to separate names of different folders. In the first example below, the AppleScript folder is inside the Apple Extras folder on the volume named "Macintosh HD" (or whatever your hard disk may be named).
                     
One potential concern is that if you are storing other documents in the folders listed above, you are not given a warning upon deletion.

Special AppleScript Information
With Mac OS 8.1 and earlier, the AppleScript folder inside the Apple Extras folder had a (TM) (trademark symbol) in the name. Beginning with Mac OS 8.5, the AppleScript folder inside the Apple Extras folder does not include a (TM). If you upgraded from previous versions of the OS, it may be possible that you have two AppleScript folders inside the Apple Extras folder: one named "AppleScript" and one named "AppleScript(TM)" (with trademark symbol). The Mac OS 8.6 installer deletes the folder named "AppleScript(TM)" (with trademark symbol) if it is present. If you have AppleScript documents or other documents you've created, please move them to another location before installing Mac OS 8.6.
