 * Hope someone can help me on this.
 * I am not very technically very savvy. I realized I had many files I may not need
   on my server so I am going over them. I found I had many files that have the 
   same naming convention:
 * accountname_wpdb-year-month-date.sql
 * I know that wbdb files are important, but do I need all of them? The largest 
   one was dated in 2019. Do I need to keep all of them? Sorry for the dumb question!

 * Wordpress as software does not create or generate files of this form. They must
   be generated either by a plugin you use or your hosting. Therefore, nothing more
   specific can be said about this.

 * Yes, I used to have a backup plugin which I later deleted because my hosting 
   service backups data on a regular basis. So looks like they were created by my
   old backup plugin? If so it’s probably okay to delete them.
 * Thank you for the info. I had no idea!
