I am working on a program that creates a standard preferences plist, a subdirectory under Application Support, and a folder for auxiliary data that is downloaded (this last one is placed at the top level of the user's home directory). I had a couple of questions:

1. It valid to set up a menu item, for user convenience, to "reset" the program and move any or all of these to the Trash? I get the feeling that the answer is No on the first two items, but I'm not sure about the last one. If the answer to these are "yes, if the files/directories are in such-and-such a location," then what sort of location would be valid?
