Descrizione

  • OS: Windows
  • Version of IPFS Desktop 0.16.0

Describe the bug The following folders are created by IPFS-Desktop while it's being used by the user:

%AppData%\Roaming\IPFS Desktop %USERPROFILE%\.ipfs %USERPROFILE%\.ipfs-desktop

None of which will be removed when IPFS-Desktop will be uninstalled.

Following the principle of the least surprise this should be the case, as this is the warn message Windows shows when uninstalling an application:

ipfs_desktop_screenshot_bugreport_no_data_cleanup_on_uninstall_uninstall_message

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Use IPFS Desktop
  2. Uninstall it via the Settings -> Apps
  3. Complete the uninstall procedure
  4. Look at the quoted paths, which still exist

Expected behavior All data associated with IPFS Desktop should be removed when uninstalling.
