Well, that's the way I'm usually doing it by simply deleting the directories. This way it's bulletproof getting the right files, as otherwise some old files may remain, causing problems you've described (although I didn't had such a problem myself).

For
example, is there any way that this could be automated when an upgrade
is done in order to clean up older versions?

Of course, we could remove the dirs with the Makefile.nmake target.
