I was subscribing to a news service X, which shut down,
so I removed the Account via Edit - Mail Newsgroup account settings
- Remove Account.
The Account disappeared from the account pane (left pane on mail news
display) and from the Edit Mail Newsgroups display window.
HOWEVER when I look at the files and folders where SM related stuff
is held, I notice that in the profile's News folder there are still
an X.rc file and an X.msf file and an X subfolder containig
a hostinfo.dat file. i.e. SM does not delete these when the X
account is deleted!
Is this by design? or may I delete these without danger, and are there
any other places where traces of X remain in hiding?
When developers neglect cleaning directories with old/unused/phantom
files ... you can decide if this is by design. In my opinion, if it's by
design it's a bad design.
With my pc, i would look in C:\Documents and Settings\RAY\Application
Data\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\2pj2ffu1.default\pref.js to see if in
this files stuff you removed did not exist anymore. Normally, this file
is clean. If not, take great care if you want to removing items - some
of them are numbered.
Anyway the phantom files of an deleted account can be securely removed.
