Deleting a launch configuration doesnt clean up the file system data [message #64466]

In the eclipse PDE, perform the following steps

1) Click on Run -> Run Configurations
2) Create a new Eclipse Application Launcher
3) A new Launch Configuration is created with the name "New Configuration"
4) Use the default values and launch the configuration
5) A new eclipse application launches successfully
6) Close the application and delete the launch configuration "New
Configuration" by right clicking on the configuration and select delete.
7) The launch configuration gets deleted from "Run Configurations" window.
But the associated file system data does not get cleaned up.

Is this behavior of eclipse intentional or is this a defect?

Awaiting Response. Thanks in Advance.

There can be multiple launch configurations associated with one
runtime workspace. So isn't the current behaviour the expected one?

Prakash,

Its true that there can be multiple launch configuration for a single
workspace. But the issue here is when you delete a launch configuration in
the UI (PDE), then the associated configuration data in the file system is
not getting cleaned up.
