Hidden and unsynced Gmail folders still show up
I unsubscribed from All Mail and Important folders showing in a Gmail acc in Thunderbird 60.6.0 32-bit GUI, also unselected them for Syncing in the Acc Settings, but they still show up under the acc's Gmail folder in the main GUI. Why they are not auto deleted from the local DB upon unsubscribe - is that a bug? How to hide these folders for good?

From Using Thunderbird with Gmail wiki it looks like one must manually delete above folders from Thunderbird local profile after hiding and unsyncing them in Thunderbird GUI and Settings. In addition, the program restart is required.
This looks like a totally absurd handicap setup. One setting is enough: when a user Unsubscribes from a Gmail folder, it must be auto unsynced, auto deleted, and GUI updated without program restart to hide these folders from view. Exactly this is done in Opera Mail, based on older Mozilla code. Impression is, 10 devs work on one Folder Unsubscribe option, never talking to each other.
