Bug ID: 458490
Summary: Discover deleted the whole ~/.var folder when open a
.flatpak file
Product: Discover
Version: 5.25.4
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR

screenshoot
I have downloaded a .flatpak file (not .flatpakref file) and opened with
Discover, then it prompted message "xx.xx.xx(flatpak app dns name) is not
installed but it still has data present" with a button "Delete settings and
user data" , if click that button then Discover will delete the ~/.var folder.
I was lucky that I had regular backups of my data so I didn't suffer a huge
loss.
I think the message is told me that there is already a data directory in my
~/.var/app for the opened .flatpak app, but in fact my ~/.var/app didn't
have.The whole prompt and button misled me into thinking it was just deleting
the data for a specific flatpak app under ~/.var/app, but then I pressed the
button and realized it was deleting the entire ~/.var folder.
