If you're used to other games leaving your user settings intact when you reinstall, or at least asking, SC2 does not. When you uninstall it, it does give an error that some folders are not empty but it will go ahead and delete all of your maps anyway.
Bump for anyone who hasn't seen this. I decided to abandon SC2 for the Unreal Engine a while ago, so I was going to upload the libraries used and for one and all. Unfortunately, I uninstalled the beta first and now those libraries are gone. Be careful where you store your files.

Backup first!

Thanks for the heads up I'd say:) I was going to delete my SC BETA today but I'll make sure my maps are in a different folder.
