XF 2.1 What happens to vB attachments after upgrade to XF?

I am running into issues with the size of backups, mostly related to attachment data.

In vB 3.8.1, my attachments were stored in /vbforums/forum_attachments

During the upgrade, I was asked to provide this location. Does that mean XF still uses the files in that location, or did XF duplicate those files and move them somewhere else, like say /forums/data/attachments ?

Would it be safe to delete the old vB directory?
 
well that question im not sure haha.....but i know that it copies them in there somehow and does not simply reference the old file locations....you could do a simple test if you like to temporarily rename the /forum_attachments directory and the images should still load
