Description
All platforms
Java Web Start Version 1.2[EA](build ea-b04)

Cannot delete java.sun.com cache directory structure in Application Manager ("Clear folder" or "Remove All")

Steps:
Run 2,3 different applications from different hosts:
comanche, java.sun.com, web-east.east. 
So, in your cache dir 3 directories with subdirectories will be created: Dconamche, Djava.sun.com, Dweb-east.east.
Run the Application Manager 
and go to preferences / advanced. 
In the Advanced Panel the "Clear Folder" button now says "Folder Options" 
It will bring up the new Cache Management dialog. Clear the cache using the new "Remove All" button.
Now manually go look at the cache.  
After cleaning cache ("Clear folder" or "Remove All") all subdirectories from  
Dconamche and Dweb-east.east gone, but structure of Djava.sun.com still exist.
