Bug Description

Steps to recreate:
1. Install the Windows client.
2. Authenticate with Ubuntu One and ensure files are syncing.
3. Uninstall the Windows client.
4. Re-install the Windows client.

Expected behavior: I'd expect to have to re-enter my Ubuntu One login credentials when re-installing the application.
Actual behavior: My credentials are remembered so I'm taken directly to the Folder tab after re-installation.

I also tried restarting the computer between steps 3 and 4 but experienced the same behavior.

So far, this is the expected behaviour.

The problem with rmoving credentials on uninstall is that more than one user may have credentials stored, and there is no way to know which ones have them.

The linux behaviour is exactly the same, too.
