Hello friends, I posted one post with similar to this. I converted 2 sites into 1. The old site's url does not look good so I created a new domain with a better name. I converted everything from the old site into the new site, by moving all files and folders into new site. I placed the 301 redirect as you guys said from this forum on my last post in .htaccess file on the old site. My question is: Do I need to delete all files from the old site, except the .htaccess file? Thanks.
As long as you have the redirect in place properly in the htaccess you should be fine; if certain pages on the old site relate directly to the new pages you should redirect those old pages directly to the new ones. Feel free to delete the old files, but leave the htaccess in place. You can leave the old files of course, they aren't getting accessed anyway or you can remove them; really just up to you.
