Hi,

I’m wondering if i can safely delete some of these files to free some space on the SD card::

Some of them are pretty old and look unused for a while.

Since a while I have setup a SQL Server for Movie and Audio DB.
So the 2nd question is if I need the MyMusic*.db and MyVideos*.db at all ?

You can remove the lowest numbers for each DB unless you still plan to go back to an older version of Kodi.
I don’t think you need the MyMusic and MyVideos DB files anymore as you have this stored in an SQL Server.
As for the other old DB files. They are untouched as you don’t use of haven’t used features that are using those DB’s. If you delete them they will be recreated on the next startup but you might loose any old but still used information stored in them.
