Isn't this some kind of dangerous because maybe some files have been moved or renamed, so some old files still are kept and are not removed? I do not know if this could be a problem, but I think it might be better to have one .rockbox directory that can be completely deleted before installing a new version. Currently this would mean that all rockbox data (settings, additional themes, highscores, doom-wad-files, pacbox-pacman files, etc.) would be removed, too. So why is this additional data not stored in a separate .rockboxrc (or similar) directory? This would be the way settings and highscores, etc. are stored e.g. in Linux. The desktop or application is installed somewhere else than the personal settings. Should I write this as suggestion in the bug tracker or has this been discussed alread before?
