No, do not delete those folders!

Look in those /Drums and /RealTracks folders on your drive D. In my setup, there are two files in each: a zero byte file (AudioPhileVersion.txt) that says I have the audiophile version, and a tiny text file (AboutDrumsFolder.txt and AboutRealTracksFolder.txt). The RealTracks folder file says this:

This folder is used to store the RealTracks audio files.

If this folder is empty, either you haven't installed any RealTracks, or you are using a RealTracks folder location outside of the bb folder (i.e. different from the default RealTracks folder location).

If you are using a different location for your RealTracks files, you need to specify it in the RealTracks Settings dialog in Band-in-a-Box.


Similar message for the Drums folder.

So, if you have just these one or two files in each folder, leave them, and leave the folders.

If you have actual files there, yes, you could delete the files except for those mentioned above. That would mean you must have first installed your RealTracks and RealDrums to Drive D:.
