Checking the Other files storage usage on  two long used and never wiped
phones

Nexus 4  2.0GB
MX4 1.6GB

While these phones were not treated 100% as a consumer might those sizes
are a bit disconcerting. I do not yet now what is included there.

It would be nice to present an interface to manage files that are no longer needed, such as for uninstalled applications, or logs
We should also do an audit to ensure we are not leaking storage unnecessarily, such as through unrestricted log files.

the Storage panel could be updated to separate out "Uninstalled apps"
with an option to delete these on a per app basis

Title:
  App data and config files are not removed when an app is uninstalled

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Confirmed
Status in Ubuntu UX:
  Fix Committed
Status in click package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in unity-scope-click package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  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.
