    Do I Delete Retroactive AFTER Installing iTunes on Catalina?

    I am running the latest version of Catalina on a mid 2012 Macbook Pro 15. I installed Retroactive so I could install iTunes. QUESTION: I searched and couldn't find the answer to this, but should I delete Retroactive AFTER installing iTunes or should Retroactive always stay on my Mac? Thank you.
