[Bug 1486618] [NEW] Clear cache and cookies when uninstalling a WebApp

 

Public bug reported:

When a WebApp is uninstalled both cache and cookies should be removed to
ensure a new installation will start from a clean state.

- Cache: $ rm -r /home/phablet/.cache/<name-of-app>
- Cookies: $ rm -r /home/phablet/.local/share/<name-of-app>

This issue has been discussed in "How clear cache and cookies of WebApp?
(Gmail WebApp)" on the ubuntu-phone mailing list. A possible negative
side-effect of *not* clearing cookies and cache is described in the
thread.
