Bug Description
When going in the app properties in the app store (by long press on the app icon) I expect also to find a way to cleanup my app personal data or settings.
This is currently not possible.

Added system-settings and click to the bug, as this probably would be better suited to the privacy settings or "Software" pages in system-settings, and may require additional hooks integration with click to be able to do this properly. The apps scope has no idea in what places or how an app stores its data. Data and settings can be stored in many different ways, especially for webapps, or apps which use web service APIs.
