So just pack it into a zip file, delete that folder and see how thunderbird reacts. *Or* better: first look in Thunderbird, which folder it actually uses: Help - Troubleshooting Information: Profile Directory - Open Directory [..snip..] > But the profile folder is like an outdated version of the Romaing > profile folder. Yeah, a typical behavior of MS Windows, the possibility to clutter personal data and preferences all over the system in different locations. I always hated this inconsistency. In *every* Linux system your Thunderbird profiles are located under "/home/<your account name>/.thunderbird/". Totally transparent and no doubts.
