Hello

Snap application store the data in $HOME/snap/$SNAP_NAME/

Inside that directory you should see data copies for each revision as well as the "common" directory that is common across revisions.

all folders inside the snap/thunderbird were gone, nada, zero except link named "current" point to in my case it was 29 folder name.
this is what I saw when uninstalled thunderbird, chromium , some welcome app and notepad-plus-plus, they all after unistalling process left with one "cuurent" link file to pointing to deleted BY SNAP folders.
This is a bug. Happend 27 minuts ago.

Please check code and remove ALL records with delete inside the app IF the app is INSIDE USER /home area.
It's just the principle do not touch anything of the user install your app somewhere else but USER's data inside user's account .
its broken I know but why do not start clean up all process right now , just remove code that delete anything if the app's folders is in user's area /home/$account$?

Can you help with this problem?
