Is all of Library 1 included? If I install 2, can I delete library 1, to save drive space?

Kontakt Factory Library was for Kontakt 6, Kontakt Factory Library 2 is for Kontakt 7.

If you keep them both, you will have many duplicates, but also you will have many unique sounds, old and new, that exists only in one Library.

If you don't care about this, and you need to save space, then uninstall (not delete) the older library.

Got it, thanks! I will assess what I can.

is there any comparison of this two libraries ? I have installed Kontakt Factory Library 2, and also have an option to install the previous one (in Komplete 14). I don't want to duplicate any libraries.

greetings :)

My answer (2 comments above) still applies….

If you want to avoid duplicates you must involve manually (search inside folders, compare, delete the older version of the same sound etc etc)
