One of my friends posted this via his game - but he does not have an account and has no idea how to remove it.

I'm actually not sure why we think this should be closed.
Seems like a legit issue?

This precondition is failing:

    Preconditions.checkArgument(Files.isDirectory(searchRoot), searchRoot.toAbsolutePath());

I can reproduce this when removing maps from the download manager. I think it can happen if you hit the remove button twice in a row.

Actually, I think somehow you can get it to remove all your maps (due to a bug of some sort) and after this happens, the list of maps still shows the maps, but they've been removed. Will investigate more...

Looks like removing a map called "2020" actually results in the whole downloadedMaps directory being deleted! Eek.

Seems like it will happen with any map where polygons.txt is at the root, instead of nested inside an inner 'map' folder.

@asvitkine Oh my bad I thought he had it fixed. I'll refrain from closing anytihng in the future. On a side note, i had all of my maps delete but didn't know how to repro it so didn't say anything. glad you got it fixed.
