Can we delete the 'accountDataDB.package' file?

On the recent update, it seems the new file added user's Sims 4 folder, named accountDataDB.package. Can we treat this new file as same as other cache files? Can we delete it OK?

    @Pick-a-boo_doo I have heard that’s now where the Happy at Home login rewards are now saved. I would back that file up just to be safe.

    Hi there
    Thank you for your reply.
    So we should keep the 'accountDataDB.package' file.
    By the way, our previous Happy at Home login rewards were saved in UserSettings, but will the data be carried over to accountDataDB.package even if we don't copy UserSettings to a newly created folder?
    Also, if the file has copied UserSettings, is it okay if we accidentally delete the file after accountDataDB.package is generated?

      @Pick-a-boo_doo  I didn’t actually know, so I took the user settings file out and tested a new save. While I got pop-ups explaining what SDX drops and lot challenges were and all my packs were marked as new in aspirations and Sim types (though oddly not in clothing nor build/buy), my Happy at Home login rewards were still there.

        Thank you for taking your time to testing!
        If I find the something else, I will add it here too.
