[Bug 1454448] Re: Uninstalling app does not delete its data

[Sebastien Bacher]

thanks, but it feels like something clicks should be doing rather than
having every click client having to reimplement the logic

** Package changed: ubuntu-system-settings (Ubuntu) => click (Ubuntu)

Title:
  Uninstalling app does not delete its data

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
