Research direction
Start by locating MintInstall's Flatpak uninstall handling and the existing uninstall interface. Add an optional user-data removal choice that uses Flatpak's uninstall --delete-data mechanism, then verify that regular uninstall remains unchanged and the optional path removes data under ~/.var/app/....

Description
Moin,
I think it would be very useful and user-friendly if, when uninstalling a Flatpak app, it would be also possible to optionally remove the user data (the data in ~/.var/app/...) in MintInstall.
Flatpak already provides its own built-in mechanism for this, so it would probably be very simple to implement:
flatpak uninstall --delete-data
Currently, there's a piece of software with GUI called Flatsweep for this.
https://flathub.org/de/apps/io.github.giantpinkrobots.flatsweep
However, it would probably be much more user-friendly if such a feature were implemented directly in mintinstall.
So here is the request for implementation. Thank you very much, and best regards
