Feature Request – Option to Delete All User Data During Uninstallation
#1
Dear Hasleo Support Team,

I am writing to suggest a feature improvement for the Hasleo Backup Suite.

Currently, when uninstalling the software, user settings, saved connection profiles, and registry entries are not removed. While I understand that this is intended to preserve user preferences for future installations, it also means that a standard reinstallation does not resolve issues caused by corrupted configuration files or outdated connection data.

In my case, I encountered a "Access Denied" error when trying to back up to my Fritzbox NAS. A simple reinstallation did not help because the old, potentially corrupted entries remained intact. I had to manually delete these residual files and registry keys to resolve the problem – a process that requires administrator rights and is too complex for many users.

Therefore, I would like to request that you consider adding an optional checkbox during the uninstallation process, such as:

Quote:"Delete all user settings, saved connections, and registry entries"

This would give users the choice to either keep their settings for a future update or perform a clean removal when troubleshooting persistent issues. Many other software products offer a similar option, and it would greatly improve the user experience.

Thank you for considering my suggestion. I appreciate your excellent work on Hasleo Backup Suite and look forward to future updates.

Sincerely,
Renato

@Renato,

Welcome to the Hasleo Forums.

I saw your post initially, and all that was visible was an empty quote box.  In examining your post in Source mode, I discovered a lot of color and font codes that rendered your text invisible.  I have taken the liberty to remove them, so that others may read your post and consider your suggestion.  I hope that is OK with you.

You have to be careful when copying text from some programs into this Forum.  It uses MyBB, and that has been known to do that with word processing documents.  I myself experienced that.  Text files from Notepad and such plain text programs are OK to use because they don't incorporate color and font codes.

Again, welcome aboard. 👍  Have a great day.

Regards,
Phil
