I would not want extension data to be deleted by default. Definitely many users will uninstall extensions if they're trying to debug a mysterious symptom (potentially not even caused by any extension) and then re-install. I know in the case of my extension they'll lose a lot small stored details that would make using it again frustrating.
A prompt to optionally the delete the data on uninstall would cover the bases. If an oninstall hook could be applied then even better handling of a corrupted data situation can be programmed by the developer.
