I wonder, when my new project is minSdkVersion 26 (or later), that I can safely delete these mipmap-*dpi folders and their content ic_launcher icons, and then simply with mipmap-anydpi (renamed from mipmap-anydpi-v26) folder containing vector icons (ic_launcher.xml and ic_launcher_round.xml).

Android Studio screen shot

It seems no problem to build a such project. Are there any potential problem I don't aware with this?

Event though it builds without issues, there seems to be a difference. I just did the same—upgrade the minSdkVersion to 26, then rename the folders to drop -v26. Afterwards, the app icon looked different on the same Android 12 device I had used before to test the old behaviour.

This comment supports that observation.
