That one advantage doesn't make any sense, if you delete the library,
you probably delete the .DATA folder as well.
The story in our department is:
We used endnote 5 for very long time, then we upgraded to V 8.0 couple
of years ago, almost everybody was so pissed off by the stupid folder
and we downgraded to V 5.0 again. Since the V8 and V5 is not compatible
(another stupid thing), nobody could stick to V8 since the majority
voted for V5, the money were considered a complete waste and they never
check out Endnote update anymore. How sad it that? :-(

The .DATA folder was introduced in version 6. It was an optional extra,
which
you used if you wanted to store images or other files linked to your
references.
In version 8 the .DATA folder became an essential part of every library.
As
well as images, the term lists are now stored in the .DATA folder.
There is one advantage to the .DATA folder. If a library has been
deleted in
error, and the .DATA folder is still intact, it is possible to recreate
the
library from the .DATA folder. Use a text editor (e.g. Notepad) to
create a
blank file with the same name as the deleted library (e.g. paleo.enl)
and in
the same folder as the deleted library. Open EndNote and then open the
new
file, and the library will be regenerated from the .DATA folder.
