 * Hey [@fatimaa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fatimaa/),
 * All in One SEO dynamically generates your sitemap. Static, physical files always
   take precedence over dynamically generated ones, so static files prevent AIOSEO
   from generating its sitemap.
 * So, simply put, if you want to use the sitemap that AIOSEO generates (which we
   believe to be the best out there), then you need to delete them. I can see on
   your website that you are already using our dynamic sitemap now so I assume you
   decided to delete the static files. This definitely won’t negatively impact your
   site.

 * Hi [@arnaudbroes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arnaudbroes/) thanks for
   your quick response and help. I haven’t yet taken any action to delete. As per
   your info my website is using dynamic sitemap just plz confirm do i still need
   to delete the old file or just ignore the AIOSEO message.
 * Thanks in advance for your help

 * Hi [@fatimaa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fatimaa/), you do still need
   to delete any static sitemap files on your server because they will take precedence
   over the dynamic sitemap generated by AIOSEO.
