its just a confirmation you hit the right button because it can not be 
UNDONE once done
the company puts this in a safety measure JUST IN CASE , because the vault 
also appears in your tree under windows explore and OTHER FILES may get put 
in there BY ACCIDENT so it just once a confirmation that this is what you 
want to do cause we all know computers do what we tell them not what we want 
them to do always

as far as emptying as far as I know and I have  been using AVG almost 5 
years now its always been a manual function to empty , again as a final 
check to make sure your really want this function done because it is 
irrevocable
