Describe Your Changes
Currently, we are setting the Jan default data folder path to the user's home directory. It would be better to change it back to the app's
appData
folder, which is defined by the OS and used by the Electron app.So when a user does a fresh install of Jan, they will see Jan under ~/[Jan app data]/jan. They can delete either only the Jan user data folder or the entire Jan app data folder.
Also fixed an issue where users could not reset the path on the latest stable release.
