Squeak foundation images are not used at all. Brad Fuller put a lot of 
effort into it but the foundation is a a few pages in the squeak.org 
image. You can delete foundation directory and backups

I'm not at all sure how backup is run. I screwed up the squeak.org image 
a few years back and found that the images backed up were useless 
because they were copied from a unix process on a running image I think.
We need backup of squeak.org image.
The wwwtest.squeak.org image we hardly use anymore, but it is good for 
testing major changes to style scripts etc. wwwtest.squeak.org does not 
need backup now. I guess we can turn backup on when someone get the urge 
to hack at stuff.

I think you can delete all the files I mentioned.
