Description

Describe the problem

If you use the uninstaller in silent mode (parameter /S), there is no option to enable the deletion of the application data.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add an option to tauri.conf.json that allows this behaviour to be controlled.

Research direction

Start by tracing the silent uninstaller path activated by /S and how settings from tauri.conf.json are loaded. Add a configuration option that controls application-data deletion in silent mode, and verify that both enabled and disabled settings produce the expected uninstall behavior.
