Can I delete a manual sync job if I've already created an identical real time sync

Hi:
I'm using version 11.9 (donation edition). I have 2 folders, called Info to Read from the Internet, on different computers that I sync. I then created a a real-time sync batch file. Now, both the manual & real-time jobs show up in my configuration.

1. Can I delete the "green" manual job (&/or it's database sync.ffs_db), since I now have the batch file?
i.e. does the batch file depend upon the sync.ffs_db that's contained in the folder?
2. If not, can I delete just the "green" manual job that was created?

1. It doesn't matter
2. Yes, you can delete the "green" one.

Thank you so much. I assume that I must keep the sync.ffs_db that's contained in the folder of the other computer (WinXP), since FreeFileSync is only installed on win10, correct?

You might as well, it will be recreated even if you delete it
