App Store request : more control on uninstall behaviour by user

This might actually already exist; but currently not on SailfishOS. The idea is that users should be able to choose if app data should be removed upon uninstallation or not. How to do this? Some suggestions: - ask the user if data of app should be removed as well BEFORE uninstalling but RIGHT after uninstallation is started - remove predefined folders only (.config/harbour-<app_name> for instance) - remove other folders specified in the .spec file by the developer (no idea if the spec file has support for this?)
