Home Assistant’s app-removal screens did not always explain what would disappear. The uninstall dialog mislabeled an optional public configuration folder as app data, while three repair prompts warned only that the app would be removed—even though uninstall always deletes its private data folder. The work cites a user who lost an InfluxDB database after uninstalling from one of those repair prompts.
Two changes correct both places. The app page labels the optional deletion as the public configuration folder and warns that the app’s databases and other files are permanently deleted. Repair prompts repeat the warning and link to backups before offering uninstall. The underlying deletion behavior is unchanged, and those repair paths still leave the public configuration folder in place.
