### Expected Behavior
When I go and uninstall a program, I expect that it cleans up after itself.

%APPDATA% still contains Insomnia folders in Roaming & Local.
### Reproduction Steps
Click uninstall.
### Is there an existing issue for this?
- [X] I have searched the [issue tracker](https://www.github.com/Kong/insomnia/issues) for this problem.
### Additional Information
I have a problem with a broken collection and I literally want to delete all data and restart from scratch with the datadump I got from a colleague.
It's proving itself to be unreasonably difficult.

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by locating the Windows uninstall flow and how Insomnia data is stored in the Roaming and Local folders; clarify which data can be removed and where confirmation belongs. Done means uninstalling offers the deletion choice and applies the selected cleanup on Windows.
