Just adding my 2 cents. One possibility would be to let the application specify a text message to be displayed when the app is going to be removed. For instance, a photo manager app could want to tell the user "All of your photos currently stored in CoolGallery will also be removed."
So, if the user does not agree with this, he can cancel the application removal, copy his data to another app and then remove the first app again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to click in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1358294 Title: App .config not removed when app uninstalled Status in Ubuntu UX bugs: Fix Committed Status in click package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in unity-scope-click package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: If an app uses ~/.config/foo (say, uses Qt.labs.settings), and the user uninstalls the app, ~/.config/foo is not removed. It should be deleted when the app is uninstalled. Using latest utopic on the phone. --------------------- Desired resolution: - When a user deletes an app, 100% of files associated with the app should be deleted. - A warning notification should be displayed when a user goes to delete an app informing them that this action will also delete any data they have stored inside the app. This notification should give the options of cancelling or proceeding with the action. - Users should not be allowed to delete the key apps that ship with the phone. These key apps are defined as: Dialler, Address book, Messaging, Browser, Camera, Music player The above will give the user a simple easy to understand mental model while simultaneously protecting the user from deleting important content within the default apps.
