^^ that's tricky, and should be rare. But it needs some way of being addressed.
Perhaps have the addon upload list cross-reference root folders from the entire installed list and if any addon still contains a reference to root folder Bob, don't delete Bob even if the addon being updated dropped it out of inclusion.

Oh I understand and yes that is what is happening. Was just trying to keep it simple in my reply.
Since we remember/cache the folder structure of installed AddOns maybe we could have Minion not delete folders if it still sees another addon that is install requiring that same folder in its structure.
If any one has any better suggestions on how to handle that let me know.
