This is not only a netbeans problem but a general uninstaller problem in a multi user environment.

Yes, not all cases can be covered conveniently, but for common small environments, e.g. 1 admin + 1/few user accounts the handling could be little more intelligent. Offering the deletion of the userdir, but in fact doing nothing (commonly there is no data of interest in admin's userdir) is quite confusing. |
