Details
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.4; Linux) KHTML/3.4.0 (like Gecko) Build Identifier: Thunderbird 1.0 See 294493; this is probably the same thing. I created a new profile in the folter ~/desktop using /start/programs/thunderbird/profile manager. when i realized, that no subfolder is created i clicked on remove that profile, after the process terminated. The profile manager deleted all newly creared folders and files + all text files on my desktop + 90% of the existing folders whitch had nothing todo with thunderbird. i lost lots of data. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. create a new profile using the profile manager in an not emty folder. 2. create some subfolders and textfiles 3. delete the profile using profile manager. Actual Results: most of the additional files were deleted. Expected Results: only the files created by TB should have been deleted.

There really should be some sanity check to make sure the profile isn't created in places like ~/desktop (with no subfolder)... However, bug 18927 might be really useful for the other cases. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 273729 ***
