Hi, I have a mySQL setup with player devices running SPMC 16.x.  I'm planning to switch back to Kodi, is it a best practice to delete the mySQL DB and rebuild everything from scratch with the new Kodi 18.x?

Thank you!

A newer Kodi will upgrade your existing database into a database copy, and will leave the old database on your SQL server. It's up to you to delete it.

If you want to start with a whole clean slate and delete the Kodi 16 database first, that is also up to you Smile
