Yeah It’s more reliable in that way.
Still, I wish there was a something like a simple flag for the package manager so I could control if user data gets preserved.
I’m a bit surprised that that isn’t a feature.
(In Windows) If you uninstall a program using the “uninstall.exe” provided, you can tick an option to wipe all the data.
This is also available from the Control Panel’s “Uninstall programs” page. The “uninstall” button usually launches the “uninstall.exe” provided by the app’s devs.
I’ve never had this issue on Windows before
Thanks. I wish there was a more straightforward process though.
Every other OS I’ve used purges all app data after uninstalling, why is Linux different?
Yeah, it doesn’t :(
