+There are three things you can do with legacy code. 
+
+Refactor it, remove it or replace it.
+
+You can refactor it to make it easier to maintain and change in the future.
+
+If it's not needed, you can remove it.
+
+If it's not used, there's no need to keep it.
+
+Or you can replace it with something else.
+
+There isn't one right answer and the correct approach will depend on the situation and objective.
+
+In a future email, I'll give some examples of how I refactor legacy code.
