I strongly dislike the idea of click deleting user data when applications are uninstalled. The number of ways that this can go wrong is staggering. Different users on a device may wish to make different choices when an application is uninstalled.

We do need some way to clean up applications but it should be handled through some other user-driven mechanism; I suggest an interface in the system configuration dialog that allows users to see how much {cache, configuration, private data, trust-store entries} each installed application is using and allow them to delete the data as they wish.

Thanks
