FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I've installed three different applications with Web Start.
If I delete an application it will be removed from Web
Start. BUT: The folder (includes subfolders, files) which
contains the application under "..\JWS\.javaws\cache\" will
not be removed!!

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. install an app
2. remove it directly from Web Start


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
The whole applicationtree should be removed from the
system!!

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
