After installing Magento 2 using the composer method, the update folder that is used to create the project with remains. I cannot see any reason to keep it after installing the composer dependencies.
Is it safe to delete?

It depends. The update folder contains the updater application which is how both components and the Magento system software are updated. If you're certain you will always perform updates from the command line, I guess it's OK to delete it. However, I'm not sure what will happen next time you update Magento; there might be an error or the updater might come back.– Steve JohnsonFeb 16, 2016 at 19:10

@SteveJohnson That is, the update folder is only used within the backend?– robschJan 31, 2020 at 11:24

Best way is to make it inaccessible. That way you make sure modules that depend on the update application to be (physically) present, still work.
This can be achieved in 2 different ways:
- Make
pubyour document root (best) - Deny access from
updatedirectory
After doing this, it'd be nice to make a module which removes the inaccessible link to the update application in the admin.
