Data and Settings not removed on uninstall

When I uninstall a widget from my watch, the data and settings files (.STR and .SET) seem to remain in their respective folders (DATA and SETTINGS). Is this by design or is this a potential bug with my D2 Bravo?

Cheers,

    This is actually a really good question.

    I've had people tell me that my data field (Snapshot) crashes when they try and update the settings in GCM, and that uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't help. I've been unable to reproduce the crash no matter how hard i've tried, and put it down to something messed up on their watch alone (perhaps that a factory reset would fix, but i've been hesitant to recommend that).

    If the settings file is corrupted, and not being cleaned out when deleting the field, then they would need to dig in to the file system directly and delete this manually (something i'd say they shouldn't need to do).
