Details

(Keywords: privacy) 

- C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird

Folder deleted, but if an executable or something is placed into the folder, the installer doesn't delete the folder.
-> Need delete the folder fully than "just" Thunderbird + aware if a file is opened in the folder and wait until this file is closed by the user/process killed.

- C:\Users\Anonyme\AppData\Local\Thunderbird     &      C:\Users\Anonyme\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird

If these folders can contain important folders, so aware the user at the uninstallation "Do you want to keep preferences of Thunderbird (mails storage, settings, contacts, ...) ?" and give the choice to the user with "Yes, keep" or "No, delete".
