[Bug 1358294] Re: App data and config files are not removed when an app is uninstalled
As a user I support the option where OS asks the user whether he wants to uninstall application and keep the data or uninstall the application and wipe all data, showing how much disk space application is taking up would be a bonus, but prompting for uninstallation or full removal is ok too. Wipe all data option should wipe the whole application folder if possible so there are no leftovers like empty com.ubuntu.application folder or anything else like that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1358294 Title: App data and config files are not removed when an app is uninstalled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/band-aids-uphone/+bug/1358294/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1358294] Re: App data and config files are not removed when an app is uninstalled
Why not ask the user if they want to delete the account settings, the app data or both? One might uninstall apps for a variety of reasons, so maybe the best approach is to let the user decide what to do (maybe even adding some info about how much storage the app data is using could be useful when prompted for a decision) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1358294 Title: App data and config files are not removed when an app is uninstalled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/band-aids-uphone/+bug/1358294/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Michael, can you please detail what are these "various situations", where you'd want online accounts to persist? I know of bug 1454210, which will eventually be fixed, but what else? I cannot think of any reason why you would not want your account deleted, especially given that it doesn't store any user data -- it can be recreated by just typing a username and a password. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1358294 Title: App data and config files are not removed when an app is uninstalled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1358294/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1358294] Re: App data and config files are not removed when an app is uninstalled
Reopening this. The current situation is just too much of a mess. Currently online accounts are deleted when an app associated with it is uninstalled. While all other data is preserved for good reasons. I think we can't just delete user data when an app is deleted. The current situation that accounts are deleted is already too much of an issue in various situations. Also, I'm arguing that we just can't delete for instance the user's authenticator tokens just because he temporarily uninstalls the app for whatever reason. We might want to offer a possibility for the user to delete an app's data, but just deleting it without asking is not an option. ** Changed in: ubuntu-ux Status: Fix Committed => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1358294 Title: App data and config files are not removed when an app is uninstalled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1358294/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1358294] Re: App data and config files are not removed when an app is uninstalled
In Ubuntu System Settings should be also option to remove only app data and config files (without deleting app itself). It can be useful if we want to have 'clean' install of an app. Similar thing is implemented in Android: http://www.download.net.pl/upload/News%20January%202015/AndroidUsuwanieAplikacji/usuwanie-2.jpg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1358294 Title: App data and config files are not removed when an app is uninstalled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1358294/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Checking the Other files storage usage on two long used and never wiped phones Nexus 4 2.0GB MX4 1.6GB While these phones were not treated 100% as a consumer might those sizes are a bit disconcerting. I do not yet now what is included there. It would be nice to present an interface to manage files that are no longer needed, such as for uninstalled applications, or logs We should also do an audit to ensure we are not leaking storage unnecessarily, such as through unrestricted log files. the Storage panel could be updated to separate out "Uninstalled apps" with an option to delete these on a per app basis ** Also affects: canonical-devices-system-image Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: canonical-devices-system-image Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: canonical-devices-system-image Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: canonical-devices-system-image Milestone: None => backlog ** Changed in: canonical-devices-system-image Assignee: (unassigned) => Pat McGowan (pat-mcgowan) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1358294 Title: App data and config files are not removed when an app is uninstalled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1358294/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
