Uninstalling Finch does not clean up the container data disk

Open ollypom opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Describe the bug When a user uninstalls Finch (either with sudo bash /Applications/Finch/uninstall.sh or brew uninstall finch), the container data disk is not cleaned up as it lives in the ~/.finch directory.

Users could have GBs of data in this container data disks that is now, unknowing to the user, orphaned. We should clean it up allowing a user to reclaim the space.

Thanks @ollypom. For a multi-user system, ~/.finch is per individual user in their own directory. To respect the privacy and preferences, the desired uninstallation will clean the current user's data, which resolves majority the use cases for Finch.

Hi, @KevinLiAWS

If no one is working on this issue, could you please assign me ? I would like to work on this issue and add the feature to clean up ~/.finch/.disks in uninstalling finch.
