> Here is my suggestion:

> - When you try to uninstall an app, and you click on the [ Uninstall ]
> button in Applications, you're taken to a confirmation screen.
> - On this confirmation screen place a checkbox (or the like) below the
> [ Confirm ] button, labelled "Remove application data", unchecked by
> default.
> - There could be some additional small print explaining what this is
> all about, either immediately or as soon as the checkbox is being
> checked (preferred). There's plenty space on the confirmation page. At
> least on the Aquaris E5.
> - (In addition, I feel the [ Confirm ] button should say [ Uninstall ]
> to make it more explicit what's going to happen.)

> Does this sound good enough for a feature request that has chances to

> I know this additional choice clutters the confirmation page a bit,
