"Uninstall Old Version"; one Step is unclear.

[Vit]

   Hello, Peter.
  Below is your procedure given to another user in December 2012:
* reboot
  1. uninstall 2.x and delete C:\Program files\Mnemosyne { ? folder, I presume. } to make sure it is gone. (This will not delete you data)
  2.  delete Mnemosyne 2.x's data directory. 
        It's usually in the hidden directory C:\users\Name\Application Data\Mnemosyne and
        contains a file like default.db
 Problem:
    I do not have the "Mnemosyne 2.2a" directory in C:\users\Vit\Application Data\Mnemosyne . 
  Is there a typo in the path above?  Did you mean "...in C:\users\Vit\Application Data ?  
   In the  "Application Data",   I do see the folder Mnemosyne;
but it is not labeled like" Mnemosyne 2.2a".
In the Mnemosyne folder  I do have 5 files with the suffix  (.db) and the default.db.
Question is:
    If I delete my 5 decks,  how will they be located by the New version
PS.  If you wandering, I did two updates before; but did not know what I was doing.
After reading a post from a user, I became weary. 
That's why I need to understand every word you wrote before I hit "Update".

     Thanks in advance.
PPS. I am still smiling after you shown us how to freeze the Sort column :-)
         Looking forward for Tag Tree improvement in 2.2.1

Good thing you came for advice here first, because these instructions
are for a complete removal of the software including deleting of decks :-)

You simply need to run the program 'uninstall Mnemosyne' (or do the same
through the Windows control panel). This will remove the program, but
keep your data intact.
