Complete removal.

Post by tclancey »

In an attempt to get regain some SSD space I'm removing everything that isn't absolutely necessary, this is a development machine and Email isn't imperative.

I can find loads of articles on how to move local folders from within Thunderbird, but none telling me how to make sure every bit of local storage is deleted after uninstalling.

Can someone please tell me where and what to check.

Thanks.

Just un-install the program as you would any other & then delete the Profile.
That contains everything.
