[Bug 1358294] Re: App .config not removed when app uninstalled
Just adding my 2 cents.
One possibility would be to let the application specify a text message
to be displayed when the app is going to be removed. For instance, a
photo manager app could want to tell the user "All of your photos
currently stored in CoolGallery will also be removed."
So, if the user does not agree with this, he can cancel the application
removal, copy his data to another app and then remove the first app
again.

Title:
App .config not removed when app uninstalled
Status in Ubuntu UX bugs:
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.
