Subject says it all.
I updated to Adium 1.4b8 and my "Facebook" group has turned into "Other Friends"
I find this to be disorganized as it once used to be. "Facebook" simple and understandable. "Other Friends" is just unusefull and an obnoxious change.

I am requesting to change it back, or put the option to change group names. I have tried to change the "Other Friends" to a "Facebook" gropu, but contacts will not transfer over to newly made group; with the proper "Facebook" name.

I agree. I was running 1.3.5 and decided to use the beta and now I regret it. I went back to 1.3.5 but now I really have problems. I have some Facebook people in the "Other Friends" group and others in the "Facebook" group.

I tried to delete Adium and reinstall but it's still keeping all my old settings. How can I remove Adium and all its settings and install fresh again?

I may be wrong, but I think this is a Facebook issue, due to it's new "groups" being implemented in Facebook chat. The new beta didn't break Facebook, it actually fixed it (by replacing the contact pictures, making the groups match, etc.). You can always just make a new group called "Facebook" and drag them all back in, can't you?

No, because creating such a group and moving the contacts to it via Adium, also changes this @ Facebook.
There is a bug/feature request to enable users have either 1 Facebook group or displays contacts like they are on Facebook.com
