note that settings don't let you uninstall applications, they only list
those so the bug can't be in settings in any case

Title:
  Uninstalling app does not delete its data

Status in the base for Ubuntu mobile products:
  New
Status in click package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When app is uninstalled it's data under ~/.local is preserved.
  This makes it impossible to track where all the free space went, since app is not even installed to be shown in storage view in the Settings app, and yet it can happily leave behind hundreds of MB of obsolete data.

  Expected result:
  when app is uninstalled, its linked private storage (~/.local/<app>/) is also freed. Uninstall should be preferably accompanied with warning dialog about all application data being deleted as well.

  tested on RTM krillin (stable/bq-aquaris.en/krillin) v22
