The thing is that if the user needs to manually delete the db files he is
likely to not delete every file he was supposed to delete. Or, since he has
to delete multiple files he may delete a file he wasn't supposed to delete;
a human error. OTOH, if SCID takes care of removing the db for you you
don't have to worry about these kinds of mistakes.
Many programs have this functionality and I'm surprised SCID doesn't. When
you create a project in Visual Studio many files are created, right? Now,
when you want to get rid of a project you tell VS which project you want to
get rid of (by selecting ONE file) and VS takes care of deleting all the
other project-related files. I'm sure you've seen other programs which
employ the same functionality.
