 Mlocate ate my laptop in April!

ls -ltr /var/lib/mlocate
total 3022120

-rw------- 1 root root    844668928 Apr 23 18:12 mlocate.db.aJxliy
-rw-r----- 1 root slocate  14646298 Jun 21 10:09 mlocate.db

  Since these all date from a week in April I assume I can delete
all the old db files. Is that true? It will save 2.9Gb!!
