2010 installed, is it safe to delete old user files?

Wed Aug 25, 2010 10:51 pm

MailWasher 2010 is now installed and behaving well on my machine, so I've decided to uninstall the previous version MWP 6.5.3.

I ran the uninstall and did not say Yes to keeping the user files, as I have already saved that MailWasher Pro Folder to a backup disk / USB Key .... just in case. However I see that the uninstall has not removed that MailWasherPro Folder after all .. C:\Users\Wendy\AppData\Roaming\MailWasherPro

As MWP 2010 stores its user files in a different place, is is OK to manually delete this MailWasherPro folder?

It is safe to remove this folder as MWP2010 would only use it to import stuff, and as you have done that by now, the folder is no longer required.

Beats me, the only button on the splash screen was "Yes" in answer to the question Do you want to save personal files, or similar wording.

Love the new icon by the way .... ouch!

I remember seeing a "Yes" button in response to the question and as there was no "No" I hit the "X" to close the window.
