What data is in my mysql56 folder?

This folder contains your MySQL 5.6 database data from before the upgrade. When you upgrade from MAMP PRO 4 to a newer version, MAMP PRO migrates your databases to a newer MySQL version and keeps the original mysql56 folder as a backup.

The mysql56 folder is no longer used by MAMP PRO. Once you have verified that all your sites are working correctly with the current MySQL version, it is safe to delete it.
