Should we remove ffxiv V1 client (game/config) and game files, or will this cause problems converting to V2 ARR?

When I originally loaded V1 2 years ago, I let it load to the default locations. As near as I can tell, it loaded the client/config to c:\program files (x86)\square enix, and game files that contained macro/preferences/etc. to documents\my games\final fantasy xiv.

To totally and effectively remove these, do I need to do an 'uninstall' or can I just delete those files/folders? Not sure exactly how to check the size of these files, but I think they take up a fair amount of space, so if I don't need these, I'd like to totally get rid of them if they're no longer needed.

Thanks.
The 1.0 client can be uninstalled. It has nothing to do with the new one, you will not patch to it from 1.0, nor will it use the 1.0 files in any way. The only thing you'll want to do is leave behind the files in your Documents folder (the uninstall wont touch these) for the Character Creation benchmark when it comes out.

Square Enix will be converting/copying your character info on their servers so you can keep that character if you wish.
