Default BMapper Background Map Management

Thanks Andy, your recomendations work and have been successful in the
past.

The problem I was having is that the files I was looking for were not
in the BMapper root directory and I could not find them to delete
them.

It turns out that Microsoft has some security features that put files
in a directory other than the location the program specifies. Details
can be found by googleing "virtualstore".

The missing files turned up in C:/users/"yourname"/appdata/local/
virtualstore/program_files/BMapper. After finding them, it was easy to
delete the ones no longer used, and to move the other active ones to
the BMapper root directory.

The appdata/local....directory may be hidden by default. It is
necessary to go into "folder options" "view" tab to unhide it.
