It would be useful to have an option to do full clean up when deleting the desktop client installation.

That will require the need for administrative privilege on windows.

Most probably feasible by looking at all users appdata folders.

No idea how to implement that for macOS.

On linux currently with the AppImage package, we would skip such a feature.

Maybe as an MSI option? And then Windows only?

In my company, when our PC is reassigned to another person, a new account is created on Windows.
Even if we are admin of our machine, we cannot delete the files of the previous user because the access rights in Nextcloud are generally different.
A function to delete data, such as by uninstalling the client would be good, but there would need to be a more general option, without the need to uninstall and that another admin user of the machine can use.
Thanks

Hi.

We would be totally happy with an MSI Option which does this.

We do have use cases to fully remove and redeploy the client to the same user.

Thank you

Regards

Rob
