Feature Request
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A discussion came up in following PR: ScoopInstaller/Extras#16542.
Ideally an app should allow setting a different data directory, so that Scoop can tell it to store it inside %scoop%, but this is wishful thinking.
I prefer and value if a package manager also removes leftovers outside %scoop% on uninstall --purge. But I also see the point about that Scoop shouldn't touch anything outside what it manages.
This should be thought about, discussed, standardized and documented, so that all manifests handles this in the same way. Some suggestions:
- Let
--purgealso remove data outside%scoop%; there are manifests that do this now. - Let
--purgeoutput directories outside%scoop%if they exist to the terminal. - Prompt the user to remove directories outside
%scoop%. - Add one more option to uninstall, like
--nuke,--remove-all-dataor something similar.
Describe the solution you'd like
- Let
--purgealso remove data outside%scoop%; there are manifests that do this now.
Describe alternatives you've considered
See above.
