279133 - Deleting an account doesn't delete the corresponding directory

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 274452

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, defect)

Description

[fgerin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr-FR; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr-FR; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0

When deleting an account, all is OK but the corresoonding directory (in Mail/)
is not deleted.
Thunderbird is not a M$ product, so I expected it doesn't make the system
dirty... :-)

Please, in future versions : remove the directory when user delete an account.




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.create an account
2.delete this account
3.take a look at Mail/ subdirectory

Actual Results:  
account deleted, but the linked subdirectory (in "Mail/" directory) is still there

Expected Results:  
the directory should have been removed to let the file system clean.
