older format and/or unreadable data

[mete]

Hello,

I am using the LTS version (1.424.2). When I click on manage jenkins,
I see a warning saying "You have data stored in an older format and/or
unreadable data." with two buttons "manage" and "dismiss". Last time I
saw this on non-LTS version of jenkins, and I clicked dismiss, and I
experienced some problems (which can be related to this or something
else because I was also changing other things)

My question is what is the reason for this warning, and how should I
proceed ?

I've seen it when we've configured a plugin that is now disabled. The
data is still in config.xml but has no purpose without the plugin.

If I remember correctly, 'manage' just deletes the keys that have no
purpose in the current context.

HTH.

Although it may be good to examine them and figure out which plugin they were depending on and if you still need it first...
