I hope this is not duplicating a message I sent earlier because I don't think it went thru. If so, apologies tendered. Under AppData\Thunderbird\Local I have 3 profiles. Under AppData\Thunderbird\Roaming I have one profile. ebl9xng9.default. That one appears in both locations? Which one is the one I should keep and backup and can I delete all the others? Can anyone explain how this system works?

Also that profile location was for the Thunderbird email client and not the Firefox web browser.
