Hi Cédric! Thank you very much for your detailed explanation! It's very helpful to know all of the background behind this. Indeed, the only reason it's an issue is the sheer size of the data files that remain behind after an uninstall.
I agree that you wouldn't want to remove all of the user's preferences, etc., so that they don't lose this information for when they want to reinstall and take up where they left off. :) However, the vast bulk of the data files must be static, correct? I would think maybe they could be stored in a different place and removed on an uninstall to free that space. Of course, it's true that you would then have to redownload that giant file at first startup again. This is a tradeoff best left to you and your team to decide. I just wanted you to know that we've had this report. I very much appreciate your thoughtful reply and your help!!
