M2.3.6 developer to production – correct steps

I use Magento 2.3.6 and am getting ready to go live… But got a little confused about the correct steps as I keep finding different instructions in different places…

​

So in order to switch from developer mode to production, do I need to manually delete any folders first?

​

Is this one command ( php bin/magento deploy:mode:set production ) enough to take care of everything?

​

Or should it be something like:

php bin/magento deploy:mode:set production –skip-compilation

php bin/magento setup:upgrade

php bin/magento setup:di:compile

php bin/magento cache:clean

php bin/magento cache:flush

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f

​

Hope someone can help.
