From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

So how do you delete app data after uninstalling?
And does uninstalling a flatpak app also uninstall flatpak dependencies that came with it?
flatpak uninstall --delete-data example-packagefrom what I have seen, NO it does not do so automatically. there is a flatpak command option to clean out unused runtimes, and another to remove user data.
you either manually delete the data, or there's some
flatpakcommand option, or you can use a tool such aswarehousewhich is available as a flatpak.other posts list the specific commands.
you can use
flatpak remove --unused --delete-datato remove all unused dependencies and delete their data.It does. The unused command is mostly for after updates, then what’s used may have changed.
