  openSUSE.org: Kindly include an option in YAST to force removal of.
  <NAME>Folders when un-installing or de-installing applications through
  YAST My home directory is now loaded now with crappy . folders that are
  driving me crazy.It is tedious to find and remove folders when we
  uninstall and application Sometimes these folders names are different
  from that of the application itself,hence the deleting them has become
  a chore by itself

  This would be good, although only if it's optional - by default the
  package manager shouldn't touch anything in users' home directories.

+ but how you will added what directories or files you want want to
+ delete? If you have this information than you can remove manually
+ right? Maybe Yast Installer should have an option to like debian´s
+ "purge"..
