Bazaar leaves leftover files after uninstall; ujust clean-system does not remove them #2987

Description

@repires

Describe the bug

After uninstalling applications through Bazaar, leftover files and metadata remain on the system. These leftovers are detectable by flatsweep. Running ujust clean-system does not appear to fully remove the residual data. If Bazaar does not handle cleanup completely, ujust clean-system should also ensure these files are removed.

Steps to reproduce: Install a Flatpak/packaged app via Bazaar → Uninstall it → Run flatsweep → Observe leftover files.

What did you expect to happen?

Uninstalling an application from Bazaar should remove all related files, configuration, and user-level data associated with that app so that tools like flatsweep no longer report remnants. Additionally, running ujust clean-system should clear any leftover data if Bazaar fails to do so.
