I have Thunderbird installed [via Flatpak](https://flathub.org/apps/org.mozilla.Thunderbird) and suddenly it's not recognizing the profile that contains the email accounts.
When launching it is showing the welcome wizard instead.
The file system contains quite a few profiles though:
```
$ cd ~/.var/app/org.mozilla.Thunderbird/cache/thunderbird
$ du -h --max-depth=1
6.8M ./i58nuv2e.default-release-1
813M ./r77u2ylw.default
6.7M ./w92uxxz8.default-release
0 ./jncleef4.default
6.5M ./fbs6wcvl.default-release
0 ./lz1kt9ot.default
6.9M ./tv1kaebo.default-release
0 ./7f6s4la8.default
839M .
```
but `about:profiles` shows only `tv1kaebo.default-release` and `7f6s4la8.default`.
I'm pretty sure that I didn't do anything but updating the Flatpak and I definitely didn't change any Thunderbird settings or anything in its data directories.
The correct profile is `r77u2ylw.default` (its directory size is 813M while the others are less than 7M).
Hence I'd like to know how can I make Thunderbird use that profile and avoid that issue happening again?
- PS:** And what's the best way of cleaning up profiles, since I only need one profile anyway? The Thunderbird UI doesn't even recognise all of them, so would be deleting them sufficient?
