XF 2.0 Should we rename /install directory after upgrade ?

[Surendra.S]

Should we delete or rename any folders/files once upgrade of XenForo is done ? (For security purpose)

Especially the /install folder ?

There is no need to delete it and it is required should you ever need to rebuild the master data.

If you want to secure the install directory: https://xenforo.com/community/resou...and-the-install-directory-using-htaccess.353/

I am primarily thinking about RENAMING the folder so that other people will not know the folder name to try it directly in web browser.

Lets say, /install to /installation

No, do not rename it, if you want it protected do as Brogan suggested above.
