If the user decides to uninstall my Air app, it does not delete the created folders with files in AppData. Another problem is that if the application creates new files in the folder Program Files/AirAppFolder, then uninstall of the app are not deleted these files.
How to solve these problems, help please?
Hi,
AIR shouldn't be creating additional files in your program files folder, is this something you're doing programmatically? If so, you might want to consider using File.applicationStorageDirectory instead given permission problems you'll have on newer operating systems.
As to uninstalling all files (even the data created in the user's storage folder) this is something you might consider using a native installer to take care of. Since the AIR installer is unaware of this data, it won't know to delete it on uninstall. Instead, you'll want to create a custom function in a native installer that deletes these folders/files and then sub launches the AIR install/uninstall.
Thanks,
Chris
