@jdstrand yes, when a user deletes an app, all of the data stored within
that app *including the user's data* should be removed.

This is the same mental model as iOS user are  used to.   Also many apps
these days have a server side component where the user's data is stored.
In these cases deleting the app would not delete the user's account with
the service provider.  But this is of course up to app authors.

What we can do is display a warning when a user goes to delete an app
informing them that this action will also delete all of their data
within the app.

** Description changed:

  If an app uses ~/.config/foo (say, uses Qt.labs.settings), and the user
  uninstalls the app, ~/.config/foo is not removed. It should be deleted
  when the app is uninstalled.
  
  Using latest utopic on the phone.

  ---------------------
  Desired resolution:
  
  - When a user deletes an app, 100% of files associated with the app
  should be deleted.
+ 
+ - A warning notification should be displayed when a user goes to delete
+ an app informing them that this action will also delete any data they
+ have stored inside the app.  This notification should give the options
+ of cancelling or proceeding with the action.
  
  - Users should not be allowed to delete the key apps that ship with the
  phone.  These key apps are defined as: Dialler, Address book, Messaging,
  Browser, Camera, Music player
  
  The above will give the user a simple easy to understand mental model
  while simultaneously protecting the user from deleting important content
  within the default apps.
