Electron app data under `%APPDATA%` (caches, local storage, session state) are regenerable: they are always removed, except during upgrades. The user-facing configuration (`\.twake-desktop`, and the legacy `.cozy-desktop` folder) survives unless the user explicitly checks a removal box in the uninstaller dialog; the box is unchecked by default and silent uninstalls (`/S`) never show the dialog. The one-click uninstaller forces silent mode, so the normal mode is briefly restored around the dialog.
