Reinstalled using ver 115 and the crap is still there. How do I get rid of it? I've tried sending a bunch of them to trash can. Some go some don't I certainly can't use thunderbird the way it is now

BTW, I had completely uninstalled thunderbird a month ago but when I saw a newer version I thought I would try again. No such luck

HELP!

I can't be certain, but it appears you may have unintentionally copied your profile into your mail folder, causing those files to appear as part of your email account. If you exit Thunderbird and look at the profile from windows File Explorer, you can delete them there and they should stay gone. Not sure what happened specifically, but that profile has been modified. I think it's an easy fix.
