tpt deletion

    Hello to all developers! I have a small feature request for you: if a user wants to uninstall (if they really want to), why not create a config.json file in the Powder folder to store settings, along with an uninstall.exe that removes TPT? However, there should be a checkbox asking 'Delete user data?' (this might become irrelevant if cloud storage for data is added). If checked, it would move the user data somewhere like %appdata%, and during TPT installation, it would check this folder for existing data and migrate it from there.

    This suggestion is a bit too windows-specific. Trying to mimic uninstallers for other programs, but TPT doesn't have a traditional installer in the first place, so we can't have a traditional uninstaller.

    I think we should have an install and an uninstall button in the options menu. That way if you want to uninstall the start menu shortcut and file associations, you can do it there.

    No need to have a separate uninstaller, or a method of deleting all your data.

    Well, it can also be done for Linux (~/.config/powder/), and the remover can be integrated into powder.

    That's so every port of TPT relies on one uninstaller for all 4.

     i like that idea. i think some files of tpt were left behind mainly since i just deleted the game and what was in my downloads folder of the game.
