    A lot of FireFox users have %userprofile%\Desktop\Old Firefox Data\ and I think it would be nice if there was an entry that would clean this and similar named folders. 

    Please provide the entry or at least the different folder names. Thanks!

    Should definitely include a warning alongside this if one is created; this folder is typically created as part of the "refresh firefox" process and can contain important data. It's also optionally created when uninstalling firefox as a profile backup

    Maybe we should add the entry to the Winapp3.ini then.

    No, it does not appear to have any negative affect on Edge Chromium.  Works okay as far as I can tell.

    Great, thank you very much for your reply and testing.

    Sync data is being saved in SyncData.sqlite3 file.

    Ok, we already know that, but there must be a reason why the LevelDB is always there. So I searched the web and found the following developer document: https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/sync/unified-sync-and-storage-overview. They are talking about different models that use either only the SQLite and/or also the LevelDB. Therefore, the LevelDB also seems to store sync (meta)data. Does it break Chrome if you use "%LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome*\User Data\*\Sync Data|*.*|RECURSE"?

    @siliconman01: What is your experience? Does it break the Chromium-based Edge if you use "%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Edge*\User Data\*\Sync Data|*.*|RECURSE"?

    New Entries ...

    [Sync Data *] ...
    FileKey13=%LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome*\User Data\*\Sync Data|SyncData.sqlite3 ...

    Shall we add "*\Sync Data\LevelDB|*.*" as in siliconman01's entry for the Chromium-based Edge? If so, then I think we can also use "*\Sync Data|*.*|RECURSE" as a single FileKey, right?

    Your recommended merge is perfectly okay.  Sure glad that you examine and recommend our entries so that Winapp2.ini will be most efficient. 

    Great! :) Thank you very much for your prompt reply.

    [SGX Default_Error_Stack Message *]
    DetectOS=10.0|
    LangSecRef=3024
    Detect=HKCU\Software\Intel\SGX_PSW
    Default=False
    FileKey1=%WinDir%\System32|Default_error_Stack-*.txt

    Would it be okay with you if we add the FileKey to the entry [Intel Logs *]?

    FileKey11=%CommonAppData%\SupportAssist\Client\TechnicianToolkit\Library\RegBackup|*.*
    FileKey12=%CommonAppData%\SupportAssist\Client\TechnicianToolkit\Library\Temp|*.*|RECURSE

    Are there important log files? Otherwise we could merge FileKey3 to 7:

    FileKey3=%CommonAppData%\SupportAssist\Client\Agent\Logs\*|*.*|RECURSE

    I think we should remove the [Mail and Calendar *] entry and just keep the [Windows Communications Apps *]. Some other Microsoft Store apps also use this, other than Mail and Calendar. ...

    Thanks, just to be safe: Shouldn't we rename and revise the newer entry [Mail and Calendar *] and remove the older entry [Windows Communications Apps *]? Or are all FileKeys of the older entry [Windows Communications Apps *] still valid for the latest App version for Windows 10?

    Ouch!  It should be *.tmp.  My apologies for my error.

    Thank you very much for your quick reply. I think we could probably merge FileKey7+8 then:

    FileKey7=%CommonAppData%\Dell\Drivers\*|*.log;*.tmp|RECURSE

    Would that be okay with you?

    I also find that the following other modules has the same error.

    [Clover *]   FileKey1=%LocalAppData%\Clover\User Data\Default\JumpListIcons*|*tmp

    [HomeCinema CyberLink *]  %ProgramFiles%\HomeCinema\PowerProducer\Template\Cyberlink\frame|*tmp

    Thank you, but are you sure it's the same error? The entries are very old. I also checked a Winapp2.ini from 2016 and there is no dot either. I don't know if we should add the dot or not.

    Modified entry:  [Dell Logs *]

    Added FileKey5/6/8

    
    ... FileKey8=%CommonAppData%\Dell\Drivers\*\DUPLogDir|*.log;*tmp ...

     

    Just to be safe: Is the pattern "*tmp" correct or was the dot accidentally forgotten?

    ... i don't use chrome much so i only test autofill and this entry remove autofill ...

    Thank you for pointing that out. If the entry deletes the Autofill data, then we better add the warning again.

    I use Tipard Total Media Converter. They don't have Tipard Total Media Converter Platinum. ....

    But it was once available and not everyone always buys an update/upgrade. That's why we should keep it. Many other entries also support older versions of programs.

  12. Thanks for the research.

    The entry needed some minor corrections: RegKey13+14 are duplicates of RegKey5+6 and ExcludeKey6 is a duplicate of ExcludeKey2. The sorting is not alphabetical (triggers errors in WinappDebug).

    Revised entry:

    I think you forgot to remove "Software\Classes\" from RegKey1+2 and ExcludeKey1, right?

    Removed ExcludeKeys. These paths don't exist
    REG|HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\AllFolders
    REG|HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags\AllFolders
    ...

    I would suggest to keep the removed ExcludeKeys . As far as I know, they only exist on older versions of Windows (and also depend on 32/64 bit).
