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.
