What does the 'Cleanup when deleting packages' option do?
Bob
I always have this option ticked. It removes all the extra stuff a package installed if you later remove it, providing it's not required by any other package. I don't know to what level it goes in making these checks though. Is there ever an absolute and accurate list guarded by the system of exactly what is dependent on what? I assume in the case of unknown things that *could* be required it would play safe and leave them installed. I'm also never sure when I've forgotten to tick this option soon after a fresh install (since it's not the default) whether ticking it allows the system to retrospectively uninstall unnecessary dependencies for things already removed.
