I have removed texlive.ii2, to a safe place, and have reinstalled afresh
without any noticeable problems.

For curiosity and learning's sake, how can I view the old version and
check if had been locked,
without interfering with the reinstalled and curently proper functioning
version?

What should/would happen if I just swapped them?
