Rancher Desktop Version

1.0.1

Rancher Desktop K8s Version

1.23.3

Which container runtime are you using?

moby (docker cli)

What operating system are you using?

Windows

Operating System / Build Version

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22000.469]

What CPU architecture are you using?

x64

Linux only: what package format did you use to install Rancher Desktop?

No response

Windows User Only

No.

Actual Behavior

Uninstalling Rancher desktop leaves behind the %localappdata%\rancher-desktop and %localappdata%\rancher-desktop-updater directories.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install Rancher Desktop
  2. Uninstall Rancher Desktop

Result

These directories are still there after uninstall, with hundreds of megabytes on disk each.

Expected Behavior

The directory is removed.

Additional Information

I might want to keep the data, so you should ask. For problems during upgrade (or any other app problem) it would be a nuisance if an uninstall/reinstall deleted all my data.

Should be handled by #1504 as well.
