What is the Carbon folder used for?

[AC Question]

Hello, I am trying to free up some space in my Galaxy S5 to allow the installation of the updated OS. I have found a folder, Carbon, which is by far the largest. What does it do? Can I delete it? Or maybe delete some of it's contents? Is it associated with Helium? Thanks. Ian.

Carbon is Helium's folder. It's a backup of all your app data. (You should keep a copy on your PC and/or your cloud account.)

Thanks for that. Assuming that I have a backup on my PC, can I safely delete it to free up space? Ian.
