Deleting Encrypted data in Adobe Air

Adobe Air apis allow storing encrypted data on your hard drive. During a conversation with an Adobe engineer I discovered that data are stored in this directory:
Adobe/AIR/ELS/
For example on my mac data are stored in:
/Users/MYUSERNAME/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AIR/ELS
Of course you can delete encrypted data via code by using:
EncryptedLocalStore.reset();
Beware, this deletes ALL stored data!
More information here.
ps: I plan to implement a button in Posty to delete encrypted data, e.g. in case you install Posty on a computer which is not of yours and you wanna clean up hard disk from sensible data.
