The disk store has not been written to since MetaMask v4.3.0, as it was replaced in #3083. It was kept around so that anything written to disk prior to v4.3.0 could still be restored.

It has been a year and a half since that release, so I think it's time to remove the disk store altogether. The consequences of losing locally stored data are small anyway - it's an inconvenience at worst.

Great catch. We should really have a process for recording some debt that should be removed at a later date. I guess it should've had an open issue with it.
