Bug ID: 418120 Summary: Uninstaller recursively deleted C:/ drive Product: digikam Version: 6.4.0 Platform: Other OS: other Status: REPORTED Severity: grave Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: paul.daily....@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY When trying to upgrade from 6.4.0 to 7 beta 2 I was prompted to uninstall 6.4.0 and to back up a copy of my database file. I did so, and after clicking to the next screen it proceeded to wipe most of my C:/ Drive. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install 6.4.0, download latest beta 2. Follow instructions for uninstalling 6.4.0 3. Observe that 6000+ folders are removed from C: including appdata folder, $user/documents, $user/pictures, $user/downloads. OBSERVED RESULT Excerpt from uninstaller output: Note that I'm only taking a subset of standard folders and not showing the files that were also listed in the uninstaller output. ` Line 39225: Remove folder: C:\Users\ThisIsMyPC\Desktop\ Line 39293: Remove folder: C:\Users\ThisIsMyPC\Documents\Downloads\ Line 39307: Remove folder: C:\Users\ThisIsMyPC\Documents\ Line 54434: Remove folder: C:\Users\ThisIsMyPC\Start Menu\ Line 54437: Remove folder: C:\Users\ThisIsMyPC\Templates\ Line 54509: Remove folder: C:\Users\ThisIsMyPC\translations\ Line 54512: Remove folder: C:\Users\ThisIsMyPC\Videos\Captures\ Line 54515: Remove folder: C:\Users\ThisIsMyPC\Videos\ Line 54521: Remove folder: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\digiKam 6.4.0\ EXPECTED RESULT It should just remove the stuff related to digikam.... not remove all of my files and folders. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows10: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Removing the appdata folder was really the worst since I can't recover that folder. It broke the functionality of every browser on my computer, a system restore and "Previous versions" of folders could not repair the appdata folder removal. I've had malware do less damage than this. It really ruined my whole weekend. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
