Amazingly when I run the command "ls -a", I find the traces of the same uninstalled package ("chromium") in the following hidden directories which are ".cache" and ".config" which are in the users home directory.
Uninstalling the package is just that: uninstalling only the contents of the rpm(s) ... the package has no way to know which directories users have their settings in. Also, what you are asking for is that the uninstallation procedure should delete users' data - this is generally a Bad Thing:wold you want your photos to disapear when an image manager is removed? or your auio files ... or your buisiness accounts ... A package never (one certainly hopes) deletes files from home directories and possibly leaves other "traces" behind. If you want the cache and config directories removed from your home directory you have to do it yourself. Just imagine you need to remove chromium and re- install it for some reason ... what behaviour would you want then? All your bookmarks etc to remain or for the process to blow them away?
