I hope everyone goes well out there in the pandemic !

I have a question that came across my mind is....

What are these xml files that is saved into the ImportLog that I have a long list !!!

Yes I know what these xml are...but why do we keep them ?  It would cause increase space or maybe take a long time to open ArcGIS Pro ??

Should I keep OR delete them ???

What is your answer ?

Be safe and stay healthy you hear !

Open up one in NotePad or some other text editor, they usually appear in your c:\users .... folder

<ImportMXDLog>No error, no warning</ImportMXDLog>

If they are old, just delete them, they are generated by various applications depending on what folder they are in

If they don't have today's or yesterdays date I think you can get rid of them.  A few samples as I suggested will indicate what they are reporting
