Does deleting profile on one computer remove it from another?

True statement?

Deleting a Thunderbird profile (including "remove message data") on one computer does NOT affect a profile with the same account name on another. Both are IMAP and are not synced to each other.

I need to completely uninstall Tbird and its emails from an old computer without impacting the same profile on a newer computer.

That is correct. A profile is on each copy of Thunderbird and not shared with other computers.
