<pre wrap="">A 'Confirm erase' alert dialog appears that asks if you want to permanently
erase the Activity (bundle). It provides a negative 'Keep' and positive
'Erase' button.
For the proposed patch, to prevent the unwitting loss of Activity profile
data or other content that may be stored in the Activity directory, an
option checkbox should be added, such as, (check) erase all associated data,
which could default to yes (checked).

<pre wrap="">I disagree with the addition of a checkbox - in my experience, this
kind of complexity will result in a random response from the user.

A related problem for Soas is that an .xo stores it's activities in a
different location (/home/liveuser/Activities) than those installed
with the .iso (/user/share/sugar/activities<br>
<br>
My experience is that one had to use rmdir -R
/user/share/sugar/activities/(....).Activity to make a similar version
of an .xo activity start.<br>
<br>
Would the "Confirm erase" checkbox check and delete both locations?<br>
