Bug Report
Scoop fails to uninstall if apps with persistent dirs are installed.
Not a duplicate of #4701: these dirs are not in use, and it's even possible to remove them from the File Explorer.
Current Behavior
Expected Behavior
Should uninstall.
Additional context/output
Note that
scoop uninstall 7zip
works! Afterwardsscoop uninstall scoop
then works.Possible Solution
Uninstalling Scoop should uninstall packages first... but I believe it's already supposed to do so.
Workaround: just that.
scoop list | %{ scoop uninstall $_.Name }
