Deleting stuff from user directories is a bad idea and should not be 
done. Please think of multi-user setups on the same machine. A user 
might have an individual copy of x2goclient.exe somewhere (there's no 
requirement to install x2goclient, it can be run as a 
portable/stand-alone application) and you'd delete that user's settings 
with a system-wide purge of all "C:\Documents and Settings\*\.x2go" 
directories. This is not what you want.

Just my 0.02€,
