Rename "Clear Shared Data" option in settings.

This option's name doesn't clearly represent what it does to the user. From the developer point of view, it does, however when reading it from a user perspective, I assumed it would be clearing a cache of shared mods. I deleted all of my instances, and worlds by choosing this option.

While this is user error, an option like this should have a more defined name / description, using a different color/underlining to make it clearer to the user that this will be deleting all of their instances, and their associated data.

Agreed - also a dev (even worked on this launcher) and had this issue a few months back. I didn't have any backup because I never expected an application to clear out that data.

Perhaps it would be best to remove the option entirely, and instead have the user manually delete the folder.
