I went form 1.9.6 to 3.x.x but didn't see those folders.

I'll have to look into sqlite, but that looks a bit more complex than I can usually manage.
If you didn't see the files and folders, then you were looking at the wrong time. The time to look is after the Kobo desktop has done its thing and before ejecting the device. If you eject, the files get processed and the device is updated. If you remove them and eject, no update is done. If you put other versions on in their place, the update is to that version.

Looking at my copies of the firmware, the 3.0.0 and 3.0.1 upgrades for the Touch only had the "KoboRoot.tgz" and "manifest.md5sum" files. And the latter might not have been used by the update using the Kobo desktop.
