RSS feeds question

Hi!

I'm a subscriber to an online forum that has several RSS feeds. This is
good as I don't want to read everything but just those topics that are
of interest to me. I can hover my mouse pointer over the RSS identifier
to see the link and can easily type it in to TB via the subscribe route.

I've been getting feeds from other RSS links as I thought I
"unsubscribed" from them. Obviously I didn't. Is there a file(s) in TB
2.0.0.23 that I can delete, then do a clean re-subscribe? I am using the
latest version of Windows 7.

thanX!!

Within profile folder > Mail > folder of rss account, there is a file -
feeds.rdf.
It holds all subscription information. If you look into that file using
your word editor, do you find any of the 'unsubscribed' rss subscription
still listed in there?

Hi Nir... I like the way you think about this.

I finally found the .rdf file. Actually I have two of them, one in each
folder (shown below). Only one had the data you needed for me to find.

There is no trace of the unsubscribed feeds in that file. There are 3
instances of each of the subscriptions to which I subscribe.

I also found many, many instances of an unrelated RSS from TigerDirect,
but that shouldn't affect this problem?

My Folders look like this:
News & Blogs
News & Blogs-1
News & Blogs-1-1

Isn't that strange? Shouldn't I have only one?

thanX!!

I hope you haven't opened feedsitems.rdf file.
If you right click on rss account name in folder pane and select
'Subscribe', do you find any of the subscriptions from what you think
you already unsubscribed?
How do you sure that you are receiving articles from unsubscribed feeds?

Those folders are only there because you have removed rss account twice
in past.
Tb doesn't remove account data even if user deletes account from UI.
Every attempt to setup the account again creates a new account folder in
this name format
account name-X
Maybe this format is now little changed in Tb3.

In case you want to be sure which folder Tb is currently using, right
click on any subscribed feed name in folder pane and select Properties.
Look at the location field.
