[Suggestion] Clean up exported apps when removing container

[michallepicki]

Currently when distrobox-export was used from inside a container, and this container is being removed with distrobox rm on the host without running distrobox-export -d first, there are leftover files on the host system.

Describe the solution you'd like Before removing the container, there could be additional logic to check if there were any apps exported from it, and clean them up from the host system.

That's a really good idea :+1:

Just my two cents here, but perhaps a storage file of sorts could be kept by distrobox in some system folder such that it always knows which apps it has exported and which files it created for each one? (Maybe a .json or .yaml file perhaps? Or maybe a custom, simpler format?)

That would certainly simplify the logic necessary to implement auto-cleaning exports on distrobox removal, and even allow for removing exports after the container was deleted and/or without having to enter the container, I believe

This has already been implemented
