Hi guys, I'm wondering if it's safe to delete the following folders: /home/.cpan /home/.cpanm /home/.cpcpan Not really sure what they're doing or if I need them or not. Can I safely delete them?

  Hello :) These directories include Perl module sources and information for connection mirrors. While you could remove the directories, they would regenerate. Is there a specific reason you require their removal? Thank you.

  I don't need/require removal of these folders. I just wanted to know if they were necessary (and now I know they are) or not, as I tend to be a clean freak about what's on my hard drive - I don't like extra files I don't absolutely need!

  Yes, you can leave those directories in-place as it's normal to see them there and they are used by cPanel/WHM. Thank you.
