We know about it because it was run automatically as part of the installation of the 2018 upgrades. There were a few cases reported afterword of some files not in the right place and the advice was to run that utility.

That’s possibly problematic for people who upgraded after 2018 from versions before 2018. I recall having to deal with a few situations from forum questions. Your situation is simply the latest case, but it’s more difficult because you have several versions from several years that cross the 2018 date.

I’m not sure if you can, but DO NOT run the Cleanup utility on any version before 2018.

Does it make more sense now why a few of us have advised you to seek assistance from PG Music Support?
