Simple storage not being cleared after add-on uninstall

Add-ons Add-on Support
#1

Hi,
I created the add-on using jpm, and found that simple storage (i.e. jetpack/{addon-id}/store.json) persists after I remove the add-on from Firefox. The bootstrap.js file I used was the default one created by jpm. Is the simple storage supposed to be purged after uninstallation? If not, how to force it to be cleared.

Thanks,
Kagaya

I don’t think it is cleared by default. You could try detecting when the add-on is being uninstalled and then clearing your storage then.
