I took you at your word and uninstalled J802 ready to reinstall from scratch, taking the precaution of renaming user as user802 so it wouldn't get overwritten or deleted. I did consider setting it as read-only but thought better of it. Admittedly, my user folder sits under j802 rather than in j802-user or whatever.

To my horror, I saw all user802 files and folders deleted. Luckily I do have a back-up disk which is a few weeks old, but I've lost all recent stuff. Luckily (!?) I was smart enough to copy addons and profile....ijs to another area, to save time reinstating them later.

I thought (obviously wrongly) that uninstalls usually left user-defined files and folders untouched.

It might be worth warning other users of this feature.

Now to see what goes wrong with install...
