It seems weird to me that a software package will add folders to the server 
solely because that is it's default then expect the *user* to clean up after 
*it* whether by hiding extra folders or deleting useless ones

It's a minor gripe, to be sure, but a well-rounded release could have shown a 
dialog to the user and asking them to select the various folders to use. Or 
even if it finds "Trash" and expected to find "Junk" or "Deleted Items" it 
could use what is there. There are only so many common synonyms for a trash 
folder, it's not hard for code to look for them all and pick one.
