What is the point of sub-directories under /media/sdcard?
As subject. Not questioning, just asking. For example...
Obviously, Jolla can hold only one SD card at a time. I could understand showing two different sub-directories for different partitions but this is not the case here. Only B4D3-3BFC exists, 5AC7-FDDA is a leftover after a card I no longer have. Are those sub-dirs not supposed to be created and removed dynamically?

What is the point of Questions on sub-directories under /media/sdcard?/media/sdcard
EDIT:
This thread started off as a question what the folders under /media/sdcard are for. This question was answered pretty quickly ("to bypass tracker's limitations and to identify multiple partitions on the SD card"). What I would like to know now is why those folders are left behind when the card is removed. Is there a reason for it or is it simply an omission?
A second part of my question is, what is the 'sdcard' part for? I would imagine a directory structure /media/UUID1, /media/UUID2.. would make more sense than /media/sdcard/UUID1, /media/sdcard/UUID2... At least that is how it is usually done, if I am not mistaken.
I am leaving the original wording of the question below so that the comments still make sense.
