Hi All,

I've got TB 6 installed on my Win7 Pro laptop. I want to uninstall TB and delete the old email folder files. My old email files are located at C:\Users\Advait\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird.

Question: Should I uninstall TB and then delete C:\Users\Advait\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird? Or will uninstalling TB also automatically delete the folders and files at C:\Users\Advait\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird?

My goal is to uninstall TB 6 and to delete all the old email files at C:\Users\Advait\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird. I just want to make sure I follow the right steps. What are the right steps to do this?

Thanks! Cheers,

Advait

Yes

No.

Your Thunderbird program and its data store (aka profile) are stored in separate places. Deleting Thunderbird will not delete the profile.

If you run Thunderbird without a profile it may try to generate a new one. So I'd uninstall the Thunderbird program and then delete the profile i.e. C:\Users\Advait\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird

The order does not matter but you have to do both steps.
