there is a reason why we decided to not delete anything here that is related to the users scope. We don't want delete user files and configuration as the impact of a deleted folder or files is much bigger as not used backup of a folder. So we have to go into one direction in the end. And I don't see a needed discussion about that small issue as mostly every singe MP3 file is bigger than the common users profile folder for Mozilla Thunderbird. -- Regards Carsten Schoenert
