You can, but you should ask yourself if you might ever want to install TP again and would it be nice to still have that content, like any articles or blocks you may have created.

There's no harm in leaving those tables in your db, just in case.  ;)

Thanks for the answer. Sorry I didn't get back here til now. I am running SMF 2.0 now and when TP was installed I was running 1.1.x So I figured those tables would be no good anymore for the 2.0 series. ???

There will eventually be a version of TP for SMF 2.0 and it is likely that the installation script will do any coversions that might be necessary so that your current data can be used with the new version. If you have any thought that you might want to try TP again when it becomes available for SMF 2.0 -- and if you have anything that you might want to use in your current TP tables -- I would strongly suggest just leaving them alone. They likely aren't taking up much room.
