It is intentional not deleting them. And deleting them requires information of what are those things for each particular package, meaning that the package would have to list all those files and directories for a complete clean. As this is not in the design, it is not possible to do such a tool.
there are two kind of "traces": * config files, cache files, temporary files written by the application without the user interaction. These files may be deleted at uninstall if the application list them (for example the ".application" folder) * user generated files (including user config) that should not be deleted without user interaction, and often can't be because the application do not know they exist. Not all application sort properly it's files. Many only have own config in ".application", but for example, firefox, thunderbird and virtualbox store user data in the "." folder jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
