How to remove QSettings items when the application is uninstalled from mobile?

Seems nobody could make sure this. So, I submit one bug at here!

Question is:
>> Anybody can tell me how to remove QSettings items when the
>application is uninstalled from mobile(symbian platform)?
>>
>> If do not do this, whether are there any rubbish remained in
>the system?

Hi Bright, Aaron,

As you don't seem to get an answer here is one from Santosh Patil ( Symbian Installer architect) ( cc) ,
----------------

I am not sure how support for QSettings is implemented in Symbian. There is some discussion here ( http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-11192?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Aall-tabpanel) that it should use the application's private folder for storing the settings. If this proposal has been what's implemented then the app need not do anything: The Symbian installer will remove the private folder for all SIDs that are uninstalled.

However if QSettings are being stored elsewhere then the Symbian installer can't do anything to clean those up. Only option in that case would be for the application developer to provide a cleanup executable that can be run as RR (RunRemove) which the installer will launch during uninstall.

Regards,

Santosh
