The manual says “If you will not be reimporting the exported files, you can safely delete .DEVONtech_storage files. ” but I do want to reimport the folders via New from Template .
I’m not sure what’s confusing here since the opposing situation is implict: “If you will [not] be reimporting the exported files…".
This is a situation you go on to say is exactly what you want to do. So leave them alone if you’re using them in DEVONthink.
PS: This is 100% easily tested in your environment.
