    well I thought I did but apparently I missed the check box :P

    So just to confirm, I am OK to delete this? Do I need to back it up first or anything? Do I risk damage/loosing data or settings?

    Great news. Sorry for the late reply.

    Yes, it will be fine to delete it. You will not lose anything by doing so. To be extra safe, you could leave the file in the Recycle Bin for now. This way if some unknown issue happens from deleting it, you can easily restore it from with the Recycle Bin. :)
