The modules directory and the eggdrop executable are symbolic links (A little (only a little) like windows shortcuts), tot he real things, which are named after the version of eggdrop you are using.

Once you have sucesfully moved to the new eggdrop, you can delete the old files.

Using

"rm -f modules-1.6.10"
"rm eggdrop-1.6.10"

Yup - forgot the recursive -r.

Maybe this ought to be looked into, to give the user the option to remove them automatiacly on install of a new bot, as the only waste space.

Added a note to the particular FAQ section about this.
