Remove USB2 thumb drive

[nospamever]

Hi, yes I am still using RT-AC86U and probably will flog it until I really need new tech.
I have just uninstalled Diversion and left Entware and YazDHCP untouched.
I was wondering if I can safely remove the USB2 drive? Without Diversion I don't think it is necessary anymore but I don't really know if anything will break if I remove it.
Can someone advise please?

Where is your Entware installed?

Where is your Entware installed?

Hmmmm ... good question. I installed these a long time ago and just could not recall what I did.
I don't remember if Entware came with the Asuswrt or I installed it afterwards. Or if YazDHCP requires Entware.
So if I uninstall Entware I could remove the USB2 drive, is that right?

YazDHCP, generally, doesn't reside on the USB drive and doesn't require Entware.

The default location is USB drive. It was installed by you, doesn't come with Asuswrt/AMTM. Your swap file is on the USB drive as well.

On second thought don't think I should mess with Entware and should leave it alone.
Is there a way to find out if my router requires the USB2 drive to function after removing Diversion?

The scripts you use will tell you if Entware/swap/USB is needed.

The router does not need a USB drive to function. There are certain add-on scripts that require or recommend using a USB drive.

Not sure if I did this right but I tried to show scripts. The only thing I can see is swap file.

You don't need any scripts in this case. What YazDHCP does can be done manually and usually one time after router reset.

Is there any value in me keeping the USB drive in the router or should I just remove it?
