You can modify the preferences and potentially fix it, backup preferences, etc. Again I must stress that you use `defaults`, the .plist on disk isn't always accurate even if you terminate the app and reboot the machine. > The case where I want it to auto clean up is where it is repeatedly broken and I never really got to using and configuring it yet. It's pretty rare. There isn't really a one size fits all perfect automatic solution. Not all apps are good macOS citizens.

    So the only scenarios automatic uninstall is useful are far and between and even then no one size fits all, which is why I don't like the idea...
